Jongmin Byun is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography Education at Seoul National University. His primary research areas are physical geography and geomorphology. During his Ph.D., he was particularly interested in the development of numerical landscape evolution models and their application in studying neo-tectonics on the Korean Peninsula. After completing his Ph. D., he extended his research interests to include the interactions between surface processes and tectonics, utilizing terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating methods. Since joining the Department of Geography Education, he has been leading the Geomorphology and Education Lab, where he focuses on advancing our understanding of surface processes in mountain hillslopes and rivers as well as developing teaching methods and educational materials for geomorphology education, integrating the latest research findings into his pedagogy.
