Laura Evenstar is a Geologist and Senior Lecturer at University of Brighton. ^[1] She has broad background in geology and in particular loves fieldwork-based research and teaching.

Laura Evenstar specializes in geomorphology, sedimentology and superficial ore deposits from tectonically active arid regions around the world.

She has a BSc (Hons) from the University of Leeds and a PhD from the University of Aberdeen.

Prior to joining the University of Brighton in 2019, she worked as a Senior Research Associate and Senior Teaching Associate the University of Bristol, funded by BHP Mining Company researching landscape evolution within Northern Chile and its links with supergene enrichment mineralization.^[2]

Before joining the University of Bristol she worked as a research fellow in the University of Aberdeen, funded by a consortium of companies from the oil industry, examining the interaction between terrestrial depositional systems.

She is currently an Editorial Board member of Elsevier Journal 'Geomorphology' and in the University of Brighton, is a member of the Applied Geosciences and the Past Human and Environment Dynamics Research and Enterprise Groups, and the Centre for Aquatic Environments.

Her research concentrates on long-term (Oligo-Miocene – Quaternary) sedimentary and landscape development on a multi-basin scale, focusing on better understanding of the role of tectonics and climate. ^[3]

The aims of this research provide an innovative, multi-disciplinary and multi-proxy approach that is advancing understanding of the development of economic deposits (e.g. supergene enrichment and oil trap dynamics).
