Paul is in the third year of a Ph.D supervised by Dr. Andy Jones, Prof. Andrew Lovett and Dr. Paul Dolman. His Ph.D is funded by both NERC and the ESRC.
The research utilises a multi-disciplinary approach to visualise and investigate the impacts of climatic and socio-economic change upon the Norfolk Broads (Broadland). Socio-economic and climate change scenarios are adopted as a tool to explore the types, and diversity, of changes that may occur over the next century. The study incorporates a range of GIS techniques including: sea level rise modelling using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and cellular-automata based land use change modelling software to derive future landscape change within Broadland. The output of which will drive 3-dimensional computer visualisations of the Broads to 2100. The final stage of the study will determine the manner by which the visualisations could be employed to facilitate decision-making on future management. The research is of great significance to the local landscape and to the management of unique sensitive environments.
Paul has a BSc in Geography/Physical Geography from Oxford Brookes University and an MSc in Climate Change from the University of East Anglia.
