Overview

John Lewin is affiliated with Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom and specializes primarily in Environmental Science. Their research intersects multiple subfields including Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Soil Science, Atmospheric Science, and Water Science and Technology.

The focal topics in Lewin's work include Hydrology and Sediment Transport Processes, Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport, Flood Risk Assessment and Management, Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies, Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Landslides and Related Hazards, and Mining and Resource Management.

Lewin's recent published research contributions feature studies in prominent scientific journals such as:

  • Impacts of metal mining on river systems: a global assessment (2023) - Science
  • Fluvial processes and landforms (2022) - Geological Society London Memoirs
  • River science and flood risk management policy in England (2021) - Progress in Physical Geography Earth and Environment
  • The heterogeneous geomorphological impact of an exceptional flood event and the role of floodplain vegetation (2023) - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • Biogeomorphic recovery of a river reach affected by mining (2022) - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Frequent co-authors with whom Lewin has collaborated include Martin Dawson, Mark G. Macklin, Angela M. Gurnell, Malcolm Newson, and Paul Raven. These collaborations reflect ongoing research intersections within environmental and earth surface process studies.

A number of Lewin's publications appear repeatedly in specific scientific venues including:

  • Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (4 publications)
  • Progress in Physical Geography Earth and Environment (2 publications)
  • Journal of Geography in Higher Education (2 publications)
  • River Research and Applications (2 publications)
  • Science (1 publication)

The synthesis of Lewin's research themes highlights a consistent engagement with the dynamics of river systems, sediment behavior, and the environmental implications of natural and anthropogenic processes. Their work addresses both broad environmental changes and localized geomorphological impacts, particularly concerning flood events and mining-affected rivers.
