About

I have a background in both human and physical geography, with a particular interest in hazards in relation to indigenous communities and knowledge. Recently focussing on volcanic and seismic hazards in the Pacific, I have been combining an interest in the geomorphological evidence of Quaternary events with oral histories. Other areas of interest include indigenous knowledge, resilience and political ecology.
