His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, including the integration of climate change into both.

Will climate change destroy island communities forcing islanders to flee for their lives? The answer is typically unclear: "Not necessarily, but it's complicated". This talk examines how climate change might or might not affect islands, especially changes to the weather and the oceans.

This lecture is brought to you in collaboration with Jersey International Centre of Advanced Studies.
