I am the national social science manager at the Environment Agency and, as the most senior social scientist at the EA, lead the social science profession. I have worked as an environmental social scientist for three decades in both the university and government sectors. This has been for local, national and international public bodies and a wide range of issues such as water, energy, air, hazards and emergencies.
I have experience of the application of a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods and a range of social science disciplines e.g. sociology, anthropology, psychology, politics and human geography.
Key social science topic areas for the EA and thus my work are:
The challenges of using social resilience indicators https://www.gov.uk/flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management-research-reports/measuring-resilience-to-flooding-and-coastal-change
Social deprivation and the likelihood of flooding https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-deprivation-and-the-likelihood-of-flooding
