I’m a Climate-Biosphere Scientist, Communicator, & Advocate, working to understand and enhance Earth system & socio-ecological resilience for an age of Climate and Ecological crisis.
I’m based in Brighton, England, and am working as a Research Impact Fellow at the University of Exeter & Global Systems Institute helping to lead the ‘State of Tipping Points’ report and working with the Earth Commission to set safe and just Earth system boundaries. I’m also an associated researcher at Stockholm Resilience Centre, and do some research consulting and science communication (via Georesilience Analytics) on the side.
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. Particular topics of focus include climate tipping points and feedbacks, the drivers of ecological resilience, and pathways to socio-ecological regeneration.
