Varyl Thorndycraft graduated with a BSc. in Geography from the University of Sheffield before undertaking an MSc. in Recent Environmental Change at the University of Liverpool. Varyl then went to the University of Exeter to research his PhD entitled "The archaeology of tin mining on Dartmoor: a sedimentary approach". He finished his PhD in 2000 and moved to Madrid where he was employed for 6 years as a postdoctoral researcher/fellow in the Institute of Natural Resources of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas. Varyl was appointed Lecturer in Physical Geography at Royal Holloway in 2006.

His research interests are in fluvial geomorphology and palaeohydrology, especially the response of fluvial systems to autogenic and allogenic (climate change and human impact) drivers during the Holocene, a research agenda that incorporates fluvial geomorphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy; hydraulic flood modelling; and geoarchaeology.
