This is an excellent opportunity to tell the wider PhD community engaged in climate change research how your project is finding connections between people, planet and place with a focus on transitions, be they technological, environmental, social or other.

Tyndall Researcher Network (TyReNe) What is the purpose of the network? +
Project Title: Public and stakeholder responses to the risks of future sea level rise in the Severn Estuary +
The main aim of this PhD project is to investigate the prospects for the implementation of a sustainability ‘omni label’ to support ‘more’ sustainable consumption. +
Critical realist philosophy is deployed to develop a dialectical conceptualisation of technology and controversy, including a close-range semiotic examination of the relationship between technological objects and their understandings. +
In Annex-1 nations, despite Kyoto commitments, the levels of emissions continue to be well in excess of those required to avoid ‘dangerous climate change’. +
The overall project aim is to understand what are the most appropriate tools and methods to support/ inform the UK transition to a low carbon economy, to identify gaps in UK climate change mitigation modelling and to make recommendations for modelling improvements. +
Climate change mitigation necessitates substantial alterations to patterns of worldwide economic activity and there are profound political, economic and ethical questions surrounding the governance of the means, rate and location of change. +
Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the work being carried out at the Tyndall Centre, PhD researchers are conducting a wide range of research projects ranging from the effect climate change will have on human health to the impacts of biofuels on the social-ecological resilience of food systems to the role of behavioural change in reducing GHG emissions. +
