Cafodd John Hiemstra ei radd doethuriaeth o Brifysgol Amsterdam (2001). Roedd ei draethawd ymchwil ar nodweddu microsgopig a dehongliad o waddodion sgafell gyfandirol yr Antarctig. Y nod oedd astudio newidiadau yn maint y llen iâ dros amser.

Roedd yn ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethurol Marie Curie ym Mhrifysgol Glasgow (2002-2004). Ar hyn o bryd, mae'n Athro Cyswllt ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.

Mae'n addysgu cyrsiau mewn Daearyddiaeth Ffisegol a Daeareg, a fe yw cydlynydd yr MSc mewn Gwybodaeth Ddaearyddol a'r Newid yn yr Hinsawdd. Mae'n goruchwylio ac wedi goruchwylio sawl myfyriwr PhD, ac mae wedi arholi'n fewnol ac yn allanol.

Mae ei ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ail-greu amgylcheddau rhewlifol y gorffennol, ac astudio dynameg rhewlif a rhew parhaol mwy diweddar mewn ymateb i hinsawdd sy'n newid. Mae wedi bod yn ymwneud â gwaith maes mewn ardaloedd ledled y byd, gan gynnwys Ynysoedd Prydain, Norwy, Gwlad yr Iâ, Canada, Moroco, Japan ac Antarctica.

Mae wedi cyhoeddi'n helaeth mewn cyfnodolion gwyddonol rhyngwladol blaenllaw ac wedi cyfrannu at amryw o lyfrau a chanllawiau maes. Mae wedi adolygu ar gyfer >25 o gyfnodolion, mae ganddo swyddi golygyddol gyda The Holocene, Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association and Scientific Reports, ac mae'n aelod o Fwrdd Gweithredol y Quaternary Research Association.

EG-2000 Geomechanics I

Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical behaviour of geological material, namely rocks and soils. The understanding of these concepts is crucial owing to the importance of these materials in the stability of supported structures. This 20 credit module, spanning both TB1 and TB2, introduces the fundamental theory associated with the mechanical properties of both forms of geological material. On completion of this module, the student will be prepared to look at further advanced topics in Geomechanics II.

Mae'r cwrs yn hyblyg iawn o ganlyniad i'r ystod o bynciau y gallwn eu harchwilio yn yr ardal leol a rhanbarthol. Bydd deunyddiau darlith a deunyddiau ar-lein yn ategu pob diwrnod maes. Cynhelir y diwrnodau ar adegau gwahanol yn ystod y Semester a'r myfyrwyr eu hunain fydd yn cadw eu lle ar y diwrnodau maes o'u dewis. Thema'r daith yw "De Cymru: Amgylcheddau, Tirweddau, Treftadaeth a Chymuned". The module is concerned with gaining experience of the geographical skills needed to explore the physical and human geography environments around us. We use our considerable local and regional geographical assets to explore multiple themes in human and physical geography. The general aims are to observe, analyse and achieve an understanding of the varied geographical landscape and inherent features in Swansea and South Wales. The module is run via up to 10 'pick and mix' field days, with a human, physical or human and physical geography theme. Students will be required to chose 4 of the field days to attend. Students taking this module will gain experience in research design, methodologies, data analysis and presentation methods. Students taking this field course can choose to focus on either the physical or human geography elements or the mixed human/physical days, or a mix of all three. Maximum flexibility is afforded by the range of topics we can explore in the local and regional area. Each day will be accompanied by online and lecture materials. The days will be run at various times in the Semester and students will book on to their chosen field days independently. The theme of the trip is "South Wales: Environments, Landscapes, Heritage and Community".

GEG133 Natural Hazards and Society

This module investigates hazardous aspects of Earth¿s natural environment and how society relates to them. Introductory principles include the definition of natural hazard, disaster, risk and loss, and approaches to reducing risk and managing disasters. Major types of natural hazard are studied in order to understand how they operate, where, and how frequently they are likely to occur. Hazardous consequences are explored, as well as how society can respond to hazardous events. Key aspects include discussion of primary and secondary hazards, prediction, forecasting and monitoring of hazards, and understanding how their harmful effects can be minimised. Natural hazards considered during this module include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, landslides, extreme weather events, flooding, avalanches and Mega Hazards. Lecture material considers general principles as well as case studies. The module is compulsory for students taking BSc Environmental Geoscience.

The module provides students with support in developing a research topic. Students are introduced to concepts of experimental design, research ethics, risk assessment, scientific writing, hypothesis testing and how to structure their dissertation. A laboratory induction and basic field skills will also be introduced. Students will be required to develop a topic for their dissertation and a plan for its realisation. Key milestones must be achieved throughout the module before students are permitted to start work on their dissertation research. Students who do not complete these milestones within the required timeframe and to a satisfactory standard will not be able to proceed directly to the dissertation module
GEGM07 Environmental Dynamics

This module aims to explain and understand past, present and potential future changes in the Earth's climate and environment. It provides a broad approach to environmental processes and dynamics operating on land, in the oceans and in the atmosphere on a global and regional scale. Emphasis is placed on the evidence available for reconstructing past environmental dynamics, the implications for present-day processes, future predictions and likely impacts.
GEGM21 Climate Change - Past, Present and Future

This module will examine the Earth's climate system, and the principal natural and anthropogenic forcing mechanisms controlling it. The detection and nature of recent environmental changes will be discussed within the context of the Earth's climate history . The tools and methods used to measure, predict and study climate changes will be introduced. This will include the fundamental structure of General Circulation Models and how these techniques may be employed in conjunction with instrumental and proxy data to study the climate of the past and to reduce uncertainty in future climate change projections.
