Geography, Environment and Planning

I teach across the BSc Environmental Science, BSc Geography, and MSc Environmental Management programmes. I lead the (BSc) Environmental Hazards module and the (MSc) Culture, Uncertainty and Risk in Environmental Systems module. I teach geoscience theoretical concepts and field skills in the modules Planet Earth and Fieldwork and Professional Skills, and supervise dissertations related to Disaster Risk Reduction and volcanology.
