Pacific Voices Podcast

Pacific Voices Podcast

We’ve all heard about low-lying islands in the Pacific threatened by rising seas. What it is like to really live there? How are people responding to climate change? What do they think about the future of their countries?

In this podcast, I speak with friends and youth leaders in Kiribati and Fiji. We talk about local perspectives on climate change, the challenge of getting your voice heard on the international stage, and the resilience of Pacific cultures.

Prospective Students

Each year, I am able to take on one or two highly motivated individuals with strong numerical and analytical skills as PhD students or post-doctoral fellows.

Applicants are chosen based on the fit with planned or ongoing research areas, strength of their ideas, technical ability, passion for problem-solving, and contribution to diversity.

Please read the prospective students and fellows page before contacting me.
