His PhD was on the glacial history of the Pindus Mountains, Greece. This was ollowed by an independent postdoctoral fellowship at Manchester examining the glaciation of Montenegro. He has since worked on glaciation across the Mediterranean mountains and elsewhere. He has utilised U-series dating and cosmogenic nuclides to date glacial landforms. He has also published on global glaciations and stratigraphy in Quaternary science. In 2011 Philip co-edited, with Jürgen Ehlers and Philip Gibbard, the successful Elsevier volume Quaternary Glaciation: Extent and Chronology – A Closer Look, and in 2023 three new Elsevier volumes on European Glacial Landscapes with David Palacios and co-authors.
