Dr Simon Hutchinson
Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science
Dr Simon M. Hutchinson is a researcher at the University of Salford’s Ecosystems and Environment Research Centre (ERIC). His primary focus is on palaeoscience, utilizing sediment records (e.g., lake sediments, peat, cave deposits) to reconstruct environmental changes over the past 50,000 years.
Additionally, Simon investigates the geomorphological effects of human activities, particularly legacy pollutants, to inform environmental management strategies. More recently, Simon has developed the use of Digital Visualisation Tools (DVTs) to support access and engagement in environmental education though field work.
