Dr. Kerry Leith

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Engineering Geology Group at the ETH Zurich. I have a background in both geomorphology and engineering geology, and am interested in the effect of landscape evolution on the interaction of people and the natural environment.

I aim to illustrate the benefits of increased synergy between the fields of structural geology, geomorphology, and engineering geology. These fields are extremely complimentary, though rarely integrated aspects of Earth science – there are few literature examples of truly integrated structural / geomorphological / engineering geological investigations.
