person

My main areas of specific water-related interests revolve around designing legal and institutional regimes, as well as governance ecosystems for lithium and other metals around the watershed; and minerals and ocean governance.

person

Professor in Public International Law and founder of DOLFIN (Dundee Ocean and Lake Frontiers Initiative and Neutrals), an interdisciplinary know-how and research portal supporting the study of the legal and scientific aspects of maritime boundaries.

person

Hydrology: flood risk and flood management; impacts of rewilding on water catchments; retreating glacier systems; use of historical records in hydrology.

person

My interest in water security is predominately concerned with understanding the human dimensions of hydrological extremes and water contamination, particularly at the inter and intra community scales and across a range of geographic settings.

person

Glaciology, geohazards, geomorphology: glacial, fluvial and mass movement processes; response of glacial environments to climate change, including water security, geohazards and risks posed by deglaciation.

Dr Cook is an environmental scientist working on the impacts of climate change, with a focus on mountain and polar regions. His expertise centres on glaciers and ice sheets and their response to global warming, as well as natural hazards such as floods, avalanches and landslides. He has extensive media experience.

person

Alan Cuthbertson is a Senior Lecturer in Environmental Fluid Mechanics with research interests in sediment transport in rivers & coastal waters; stratified & buoyancy driven flows; environmental hydraulics in aquaculture; and geophysical flows.

person

Alastair is an Honorary Professor and graduate of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Louisiana State Universities. He has written over 100 academic papers plus several books on Quaternary environmental science, sea level change and tsunami geoscience.

person

Tom Dyer is a Materials Scientist working in the field of Civil Engineering. His research interests cover the durability of infrastructure, and the development of sustainable, low-energy construction materials.

person

Curator of Botanic Garden & Head of Grounds. Research interests explore the adoption & use of nature based solutions in rural & urban landscapes. He has a background in applied plant science, conservation management, human ecology & community development.

person

Geo-information expert specialising in applied geospatial data analysis with a human population dimension. Water-related research experience on spatial accessibility to safe drinking water supplies (SDG 6.1), and mapping social vulnerability to flooding.

person

Primary specialism in terms of water is the impact of mineral extraction/ mining on water resources, both in terms of the quantity of available water for other purposes (scarcity) and regarding any downstream and/or groundwater pollution.

person

Hydrochemical monitoring and modelling; Hydrological extremes (droughts/floods); Ecosystem service and function; Emergent contaminants; Drinking water security; Climate change; Water pollution; Sustainability; Freshwater resource management.

person

Sea level rise & climate change impact on coastal areas & structures; Development of hydrokinetic & marine renewable energy systems; Wave mechanics in shallow & deep waters; Hydrodynamics interaction of water waves & current on fixed & floating structures

person

My interests include: (i) the impact of extreme rainfall on groundwater and the safety of geotechnical structures; (ii) nature-based solutions for controlling groundwater in and around infrastructure.

person

My artwork explores the ways that culture supports our navigation of our increasingly critical relationship with nature. I explore the psychological and poetic, and activate water to explore critical environmental and socio-political questions.

person

Agriculture and irrigation; Ecology; Human health and wellbeing; Sustainability; Urban environment; Water and society; Water quality; Climate change; Outdoor learning and education generally.

person

Pursues research questions at the interface of ecological functioning of forest & agroforest systems, climate variability. I continue to explore research questions around trade-offs in water use & nutrient use efficiency in both managed & natural systems.

person

Graeme's research is on historical climate change & the development of meteorological associations. He examines migration and the socio-economic, health & demographic history of Scotland at its point of pivot from a pre-industrial to an industrial climate

person

In Dentistry water is important as the fluoride concentration of water factors in the prevalence of dental decay, & in rural Malawi we have embarked on a research project that examines the relationship between dental health & water fluoride concentration.

person

Climate change; Disaster risk management; Contaminants of emerging concern; Low carbon materials; Pollution; Sustainability; Water scarcity and drought; Water security; Urban environment; Energy

person

My research focuses on understanding how people get inspired to work towards shared goals and the common good. Currently, I am seeking to use this knowledge to support non-profit organisations working for equal, sustainable and regenerative futures.

person

Vincent's research focuses on environmental assessments & planning, aimed towards integrated environmental management with interest in processes & methodologies to unify the broader & integrative issues of sustainability & environmental governance.

person

My research focuses on young people's experiences growing up in situations of poverty and inequality in the global South, particularly examining the intersections of youth livelihoods, climate impacts and adaptations, refugee status and homelessness.
