Jon Hill

I’m an environmental computational scientist at the University of York that builds and integrates software to solve and investigate environmental problems; past, present and future. I have a diverse research background that spans High Performance Computing, sedimentology, hazards, and oceanography. I’m the lead academic in the Environmental Modelling Research Group.

My current research focus is around Quaternary tsunamis and tides, blending laboratory work, with sedimentology and modelling.

I’m also a Fellow for the Software Sustainability Institute and I write open source software for use across all of my research strands. Find out more on the Software page.

PhD and MRes students:

I currently have a fully-funded PhD project available via the ECOWILD CTD on tidal energy and the impact on birds. Deadline for applications is 29th April, 2024. More details and information on how to apply can be found on FindaPhD.com.

I’m always happy to hear from potential PhD and MRes students. See my research pages or my research group’s pages to see the kind of topics I can help with.
