Lucas Geese

University of East Anglia

Research Fellow

Lucas joined the Tyndall Centre in June 2021. He works at the intersection of political and environmental science with a focus on democracy and (in)equality issues in the challenges of mitigating climate change and adapting societies to its consequences.

Much of his research focusses on the two-way dynamic interaction between decisionmakers and public stakeholders and its knock-on effects for public policy, for example in the ERC-funded project DeepDCarb or the ESRC-funded Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST).

Behavioural and policy-related data is central to his research and impact-focussed approach. He uses predominantly quantitative methods that are often supplemented by qualitative approaches in mixed methods designs (e.g. public opinion and elite surveys, geo-spatial data, parliamentary behaviour, and large-scale computational text analysis, combined with in-depth interviews or focus group discussions).

Previously he worked as a lecturer and researcher in Comparative Politics at the University of Bamberg in Germany.

He is editorial board member for Communications Earth & Environment (Nature Portfolio).
