Climate and Disaster

During my postdoc with the Climate and Sustainability Policy Research Group I worked on projects spanning climate governance, adaptation planning, resilience, and disaster response. Since then I have been focussing on disaster planning, response, and resilience looking at how human and nonhuman animals respond to landscapes of worsening disaster risk.
