Rate My Professor Stephen McCabe

McCabe's research interests encompass process geomorphology, stone heritage conservation, stone decay and conservation, climate change impacts on built environments, and environmental policy. He has produced impactful publications including 'Understanding the decay of stone-built cultural heritage' (Smith, Gomez-Heras, McCabe, 2008, Progress in Physical Geography), 'Algal ‘greening’ and the conservation of stone heritage structures' (Cutler et al., 2013, Science of the Total Environment), 'Impacts of fire on stone-built heritage: an overview' (Gomez-Heras, McCabe, Smith, Fort, 2009, Journal of Architectural Conservation), 'A commentary on climate change, stone decay dynamics and the ‘greening’ of natural stone buildings' (Smith et al., 2011, Environmental Earth Sciences), and 'Exploitation of inherited weakness in fire-damaged building sandstone' (McCabe, Smith, Warke, 2010, Engineering Geology). These works have advanced comprehension of material-environment interactions, providing critical insights for heritage preservation strategies amid anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Transitioning from Visiting Research Fellow (2014-2016) and Impact Officer (2016-2019), McCabe advanced to Business Alliance Manager (2019-2021) and Head of Project Delivery for Momentum One Zero (2021-2024).
