Lynne Elizabeth Frostick CBE (born 2 February 1949) is a chartered British geographer and geologist. She was a professor of Physical Geography at the University of Hull until 2014.
Her research interests include sediment and flow dynamics in rivers and estuaries and the interdisciplinary problems associated with waste. The physical modelling facility she has developed at The Deep is part of the EU HYDRALAB project.[1]
Her activities outside of the university have included a seat on the editorial board of The Geographical Journal and chairing the government's Expert Group for Women in STEM. Frostick is on the chair[clarification needed] of the British Society for Geomorphology. She is a member of the government's science careers expert group.[2] In 2009 she received a UKRC Women of Outstanding Achievement Award. Frostick has published over one hundred papers and books, crossing disciplines including physics, mathematics and hydraulic engineering,[3][4] as well as rift valleys,[5] and sedimentology.[6][7] She is currently a board member on the Environment Agency Board for Flood and Risk Coastal Risk Management. The Agency Board takes a cohesive approach to environmental protection and maintenance in England. Frostick applies her background in geology and environmental science to promote the well-being of others and the environment.
