With a background
in academic climate change science and
adaptation-related work, I have been working
as an independent consultant
since 2005, while continuing my research in the field
of human-environment interaction. I
currently hold visiting academic positions
at the Universities of Oxford and East
Anglia.
CONSULTANCY
My work focuses on climate change and international development, addressing topics including climate risk assessment, mainstreaming climate change into development work, monitoring and evaluation (particularly of adaptation success), and adaptation project design. A significant proportion of my work involves the delivery of training on these and other topics (e.g. mitigation and low carbon development, negotiations, climate science) to development organisations. Recent clients have included the African Development Bank, the UK Department for International Development, the European Commission, the United Nations Development Programme, and the World Bank.
I am currently migrating information on my consultancy work to a new website. My old consultancy pages can be found here.
RESEARCH
Most of my research focuses on past episodes of "rapid and severe" climate change, and how human populations were affected by and responded to such changes. My particular focus is on the last period during which the global climate appears to have undergone a systematic reorganisation, associated with profound changes in regional climatic and environmental conditions, particularly in the northern hemisphere subtropics. This research combines the synthesis of existing palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data with fieldwork in North Africa that examines processes of environmental and cultural change during this period in present-day Western Sahara. One of the aims of my research is to use the study of past episodes of linked climatic and societal changes to inform our understanding of climate change and its potential impacts in the 21st century.
