Rob Ferguson is emeritus Professor of Physical Geography at Durham University. His BA and PhD were completed at Cambridge and he held academic posts in the Universities of Hull, Stirling and Sheffield before Durham. His research focused initially on river channel morphology and channel change. These form the subject of his chapter in this book, and his emphasis therein on the importance of stream power has been influential. His later work includes many highly-cited contributions on flow and sediment transport processes in rivers using various combinations of physical theory, numerical modelling and data analysis.
Malcolm Newson has fifty years' experience in research and applications in hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and freshwater/wetland conservation. He has completed 90 consultancy reports in addition to an academic output of 200 refereed papers and eight books. He is co-author of the Guidebook of Applied Fluvial Geomorphology. His particular expertise is 'hydromorphology', combining his research in hydrology and geomorphology in a little understood field of knowledge but one which is pivotal to the Water and Habitats Directives as well as to freshwater ecosystems (including their restoration and rehabilitation) and the impacts of climate change, notably severe floods.

Des Walling retired from the Geography Department at Exeter University in 2010. He has devoted decades of work to catchments and rivers in the UK but also extended his work to include studies in contrasting environments across the globe. He has served as President of the International Commission on Continental Erosion, the International Association for Sediment Water Science and the World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research. He was awarded the Victoria Medal of the Royal Geographical Society in 2000, the Linton Award of the British Society for Geomorphology in 2007, The International Hydrology Prize awarded by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, UNESCO and WMO in 2007 and the AGU Hydrologic Sciences Award in 2008. He has published widely and in 2023 he was ranked 10th in the world for Geography scholars by ScholarGPS, based on productivity, impact and the quality of his publications.
