I am an applied economist specialising in adaptation to climate change. I am based in the Faculty of Environment, Society and Design at Lincoln University, where I am currently the Associate Dean of Research. I have 25 years of research experience, across many areas of climate change adaptation, including economic evaluations of impacts and adaptation (focusing particularly on applying robust methods to deal with climate uncertainty); identifying and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptation options across sectors; risk assessment; community resilience to extreme weather events; and adaptation decision-making among various stakeholders. I led the Deep South National Science Challenge’s programme on Impacts and Implications from 2019 to 2024. I am a lead author on three Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports: A Special Report on Climate Change and Land (2019), the Australasia chapter of the Sixth Assessment Report (2021) and currently on the Agriculture, Food, Fibre, Forestry and Fisheries chapter of the forthcoming Seventh Assessment Report. I am actively involved in several research projects and supervise PhD students.
