Mike J. Smith received a BS (Hons.) in geography from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, an MS degree in geography from the University of British Columbia, and a PhD degree in paleo-glaciology from the University of Sheffield. He is currently a senior lecturer in GIS in the School of Geography, Geology and the Environment at Kingston University, where he contributes to bachelor and masters programs on the application of remote sensing in the geosciences. His research interests are based on the application of digital elevation models in geomorphology and specifically focused upon the visualization and geomorphometric modeling of glacial landscapes. Recent interests also include field spectroscopy of loess. He is the founder and editor of the Journal of Maps.
John K. Hillier received BA and MS degrees in Natural Sciences (Geology) from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD degree in Marine Geophysics from the University of Oxford. He was awarded a research fellowship at St. Catharine's College Cambridge and has worked for Zurich Insurance as a catastrophe modeler. He is currently a lecturer at Loughborough University, with research interests in geohazards and quantitative geomorphology. Recent interests include drumlin formation, volcano formation, evolution of oceanic tectonic plates, and the correlation between natural perils.
Jan-Christoph Otto has studied Geography, Geology, and Soil Science at the Universities of Bonn and Grenoble. He received his Diploma and PhD in Geography from the University of Bonn.
He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geography and Geology, University of Salzburg, within the Geomorphology and Environmental Systems Research Group. His main research interests include landscape change in high-mountain environments with special focus on sediment budgets and the dynamics and consequences of permafrost changes in mountain areas. His recent interests include the creation of digital geomorphological maps and the combination of high-resolution surface and subsurface data using GIS technology.
Martin Geilhausen studied Geography at the University of Bonn and received a diploma investigating fluvial and glacial deposits using geophysics. After working for a geoinformation company, where he developed webGIS and web-mapping applications, he enrolled as a PhD student in the Department of Geography and Geology, University of Salzburg (Geomorphology and Environmental Systems Research Group). His research involves the quantification of recent and postglacial sediment dynamics in glacier fore-fields, Austrian Alps. Martin is applying a suite of field techniques ranging from fluvial erosion measurement and geophysics (ground penetrating radar, seismic refraction, and resistive tomography) to terrestrial laser scanning.
