RESEARCH IMPACT

Research Interests and Record
As a geomorphologist, my research is concerned with the interaction between
environmental processes, earth surface materials and the morphological expressionof land surfaces and forms that result. In particular, attention is focussed on
sediment delivery processes – the temporal and spatial dynamics of sedimentproduction and transfer. This work encompasses themes of soil erosion assessment,
construction of sediment budgets and the interactions between erosion processes
and surface characteristics. In addition to my scientific research interests I have a
track record in pedagogical research concerned with education and educational
leadership in the environmental arena.
Soil erosion and land degradation assessment
Soil erosion is a major problem in many world environments but limited data are
available on its rates and spatial variability. My initial research developed during my
doctorate evaluated the use of the environmental radionuclide caesium-137 (137Cs)
for rapid appraisal of erosion status. As part of the work produced by the Universityof Exeter at this time it has produced a technique that has been adopted by manyerosion researchers. My first paper (Zhang, Higgitt and Walling, 1990) was the first
application of the technique to Asia and initiated my interest in the assessment ofenvironmental degradation in China (Higgitt and Rowan, 1996; Higgitt, 2000) that
subsequently has led to much collaboration with Nanjing University, East China
Normal University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National University ofSingapore. My early work extended the application of radionuclide assessment fromagricultural land to other erosion-prone environments (Higgitt et al, 1994; Higgitt andHaigh, 1995) and to investigations of Chernobyl fallout redistribution (Higgitt et al.,
1992; 1993). I realised that there was a need for more rigorous examination of theassumptions of environmental mobility and this has been tackled in more recent work
(Higgitt, 1995; Higgitt et al., 2000; Lu and Higgitt, 2000; Yeloff et al., 2005). A gamma
spectrometry laboratory was established in Durham to advance research into 137Cs
applications and investigate potential environmental applications for other gammaemitting radionuclides (7Be, 210Pb, 226Ra). It is important that scientific advance inerosion assessment is balanced by a willingness to engage in interdisciplinary
research which I have been able to do through my work in China focussed upon land
capability assessment, in Jordan as part of the Badia Research and Development
2

Programme and through EU projects on sustainable use of soil and water resources.
My work on the interaction of land degradation and socio-economic factors indrylands (Higgitt, 2000) has led to a request to write a paper for UNESCO (Higgitt,2004), while I have recently delivered a key note lecture about land degradation in
the Mediterranean. I have provided a series of progress reports on soil erosion for
Progress in Physical Geography.
Sediment Budgets
Soil erosion can lead to off-site impacts and the derivation of sediment budgets
involves interpretation of the principal source areas and pathways of sedimenttransfer. Some of my work extended radionuclide assessment methods to small
catchments, coupled with the examination of lake or reservoir sedimentation (Higgitt
and Walling, 1993). Deriving information about the potential impact of sediment onwater resource management is important in areas where gauging records are sparseand this has been a central theme of an EU FP4 programme (WARMICE) examining
sediment budgets in upland areas. I chaired a working party on upland sedimentbudgets on behalf of the British Geomorphological Research Group and havedeveloped applications of GPS for mapping and evaluation (Higgitt and Warburton,
1999; Warburton, Higgitt and Mills, 2003). Though British uplands are intricate
systems I have enjoyed the challenge of working on larger global rivers, in particular
the Yangtze. In a series of papers (Higgitt and Lu, 1996, 1999, 2001; Lu and Higgitt,
1998, 2001) novel methods of data extraction in a GIS framework have beendeveloped to analyse spatial and temporal trends in sediment yields of large river
basins. This represents the first attempt to extract catchment-delineated variablesfrom geodatabases, which has also led to keynote paper invitations. Current work in
China is extending analysis of sediment yield variability and flooding back fromcontemporary records through the Late Holocene, a theme that has been examinedin my recent book (Higgitt and Lee, 2001). Since moving to Singapore, the modelling
work on spatial and temporal patterns of sediment delivery has been extended to thePearl River basin in southern China, the Mekong basin and fieldwork in the
Ayeyarwady and Thanlwin Rivers of Myanmar, with plans to extend work into several
monsoon-dominated basins.
Interaction between Erosion Processes and Surface Characteristics
In parallel with my work focusing on determining sediment mobility, it became
apparent that a significant advance could be made on examining the feedback
interactions between sediment mobility, surface configuration and slope development.
This theme emerged from a project to examine the geomorphological stability of thedesert margin of NE Jordan (Higgitt and Allison, 1998; Allison et al., 2001). Having
established that the characteristics of both desert stone mantles and the slopes they
cover vary between lithologies (Allison and Higgitt, 1998), attention turned to thecharacterisation of the surfaces and the homeostasis between form and process(Higgitt and Allison, 1999 a,b). This is evidence of self-organisation which is an
emerging idea in geomorphology. There is much to be gained by extending recent
ideas on organisation from the physical and biological sciences to geomorphologicalproblems (Higgitt, Rosser and Allison, in press).
Pedagogical Research
I have published widely on aspects of educational research in geography and related
disciplines and have been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of
Geography in Higher Education since 1997 and its editor since 2002. My main focus
is concerned with fieldwork skills and the development of sustainability education.
In summary, my research interests and publication record (appended) indicate
continued progress towards both the development of new techniques and totheoretical developments in geomorphology, recognised in 2001 through the award
of a major prize within the discipline.

Case for Teaching ExcellenceAwarded University of Durham Excellence in Teaching Award, 2001
Awarded Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, NUS Excellent Teacher Award,
2006
The claim for excellence was made on the basis of three types of evidence:9•Commitment to teaching innovation and professional development (including
grants received for teaching development)• Publications related to good practice in learning and teaching• Contribution to national and international initiatives in higher education(particular emphasis on fieldwork design)

Innovation
I have been at the vanguard of innovative practice in teaching and learning as
evidenced by a number of grants for educational development (listed within the
Research Grants and Income Generation section). Approaches towards teaching IT
and quantitative methods and to fieldwork are examples of innovation. Following
involvement in two TLTP projects I introduced self-paced practicals into Levels 1 and2. These have evolved as the IT platform has improved and are now delivered via
duo (the University of Durham’s virtual learning environment). My courses have been
the first in the Department to make use of the discussion-board, group managementand digital drop box features of duo. These innovations are now being introduced
through NUS’s IVLE.
Fieldwork is a key aspect of geographical investigation but one which requires
strategy to encourage enquiry. The Drylands with Fieldwork module (Durham) has
embedded a fieldtrip into a module and has consistently earned the highest
evaluation in the Department. The format simulates a mini-research project which
students present at a course conference. It is also designed to develop teamwork
skills among students. These initiatives have been described in a journal paper(Higgitt and Warburton, 1999) and are currently being investigated as part of an
FDTL project into incorporating work-place skills into the curriculum
