WORK HISTORY
Principal Geomorphologist @Fishtek
Totnes, GB
Principal Geomorphologist specialising in fluvial geomorphology, sedimentology, river restoration and nature-based solutions. I work with regulators, consultancies and delivery partners to provide geomorphological insight that de-risks design and supports long-term, process-based solutions.I provide technical leadership on geomorphology and sediment dynamics, helping clients understand and work with natural river processes to deliver resilient, sustainable outcomes. My work focuses on interpreting landscape evolution, sediment connectivity and river behaviour to inform process-based design and long-term ecological benefit.Key focus areas include:• Leading geomorphological and sedimentological assessments• Providing strategic input to river restoration and nature-based solutions• Integrating geomorphology with engineering, fish passage and habitat design• Applying GIS, LiDAR, drone data and modelling to support evidence-based decisionsPassionate about translating complex earth system science into practical, defensible solutions for rivers and catchments.

SKILLS
ABOUT EDWARD FLEMING
Chartered Geomorphologist with 14+ years of experience bridging science, applied geomorphology, and river restoration. Edward holds a PhD in Geomorphology (University of Birmingham) and began his career in Arctic sedimentology, completing nine field seasons in Svalbard, Greenland, and Arctic Norway.As Principal Geomorphologist at Fishtek Consulting, he leads projects in river restoration, wetlands, natural flood management, and nature-based solutions, helping clients, regulators, and delivery partners understand and work with natural river processes. He combines process-based insight, cutting-edge monitoring (UAVs, LiDAR, GIS), and geomorphological expertise to deliver resilient, sustainable, and ecologically robust outcomes.Edward has applied his research and practical experience to innovation programmes, catchment-scale projects, and Stage Zero restoration studies, ensuring interventions are scientifically sound, cost-effective, and outcome-focused. Passionate about translating complex science into practical solutions, he helps clients de-risk design, enhance ecological value, and achieve long-term success.
