As a field-based geoscientist, Prof. Terry has over three decades of research experience spanning geomorphology, climatology and hydrology. His main research interests lie in investigating the causes, behaviour and impacts of natural hazards in the Asia-Pacific and Arabian-Mediterranean regions. His work focuses on coastal hazards in particular, such as tsunamis and tropical cyclones. However, he has also published widely across different domains, including: climatic and hydrological extreme events, Holocene records, fluvial processes, karst geomorphology, island landscapes, environmental change, groundwater, hillslope processes, soil erosion and land degradation.

He is an Assistant Editor on the editorial boards of Natural Hazards and Geoscience Letters, both published by Springer Nature.
