    • About Me:

      I am an environmental psychologist, specialising in perceptions and behaviour in relation to climate change, energy and transport, based in the Department of Psychology, University of Bath.
      I am director of the ESRC-funded UK Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST).
