I’m a Climate-Biosphere Scientist, Communicator, and Advocate, working to understand and enhance Earth system and socio-ecological resilience for an age of Climate and Ecological crisis. I’m currently working as a Research Consultant and Science Communicator (self-employed at Georesilience Analytics and based in Brighton, England) and am also a GSI Visiting Fellow at the University of Exeter’s Global Systems Institute and an associated researcher at Stockholm Resilience Centre.
I'm fascinated by the co-evolution of the Earth, life, and human societies as a complex and dynamic system, and what this means for our future. My research uses numerical modelling and analysis to investigate Earth System resilience in the past and future, including climate-biosphere feedbacks and tipping points, dynamics and indicators of ecological resilience, and the sustainability of socio-ecological systems.
