About

Barbara Rumsby
I have over 15 years experience working as a University academic in the UK, lecturing and researching in physical geography (Universities of Sussex & Hull).  My research specialism is fluvial geomorphology, but I have broad interests and experience across geography, earth and environmental science, and archaeology.

• BSc in Geography at the University of Wales (Aberystwyth), UK
• Certificate in Archaeology at the University of Hull, UK

Academic Papers
I have extensive experience writing academic papers and technical reports; I have published more than 25 papers, many in high impact journals, which have 1000+ citations (Google Scholar).  

Educational
As a lecturer, I produced electronic/digital course materials to support classes in a range of topics, including: rivers, environmental science, hazards, climatology.

Reviewing & Editing

• I am a member of the Society for Editors & Proofreaders, and have completed training in Proofreading and Copy-editing.

• I have wide experience editing manuscripts written by non-native English language speakers, especially from researchers in China, Japan and Korea.
