In brief
Current positions
Associate Professor & Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford
Dean and Fellow of St. Catherine’s College, Oxford | PA: lizzie.andrews@stcatz.ox.ac.uk
Director, Oxford Martin Programme on Sustainable Oceans
Senior Research Fellow, Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET Oxford)
Current research interests
Key focus is on the dynamics of natural environmental systems and human-environment interactions over a range of timescales and contexts. I use a broad array of research methods, including numerical modelling, empirical field methods and laboratory analyses. Much of my ongoing work is influenced by Complex Systems research, particularly in regard to modelling human-environmental interactions. Under the broad heading of 'Sustainability and Resilience', my interests are in how the resilience of natural systems changes over time, and how humans can best interact with natural systems in ways which optimises both service provision and system sustainability/resilience. The 'Palaeo' section gives details of past projects investigating human/environmental changes over timescales spanning decades to tens of thousands of years.
