My work looks at local and global scales. I have a background in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and I am an experienced interdisciplinary researcher, working with and across different disciplines and regularly apply social science methods. I work within a number of collaborations at the UK, European and international scales. I have overseas fieldwork experience in Iceland, the Caribbean and Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sea-background-f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-menu\"><li class=\"active\"><h5><a href=\"#tabs-1\">Biography<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-2\">Research<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-3\">Projects<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-4\">Publications<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-5\">Skills &amp; qualifications<\/a><\/h5><\/li><li ><h5><a href=\"#tabs-6\">Awards &amp; associations<\/a><\/h5><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container tabs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-1\"><div class=\"col-12\"><p><strong>Melanie Duncan&#8217;s Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>2021 &#8211; present: Topic Lead for Multi-hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction<\/li>\n<li>2015:\u00a0 Joined BGS Volcanology Team<\/li>\n<li>2013 &#8211; 2015: Part-time Consultant: DRR and Climate Change: UNISDR, World Bank and Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD)<\/li>\n<li>2010 &#8211; 2011: Part-time Research Assistant (\u2018Volcanoscope\u2019), University College London, London<\/li>\n<li>2009 &#8211; 2014: EngD, University College London: multi-hazard assessments and disaster risk reduction<\/li>\n<li>2008 &#8211; 2009: Flood Incident Management, Environment Agency for England and Wales<\/li>\n<li>2006 &#8211; 2007: MSc Geophysical Hazards, University College London<\/li>\n<li>2001 &#8211; 2005: BSc Hons (First Class) Geography, University of St Andrews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-2\"><div class=\"col-12\"><p><strong>Research interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Multi-hazards (including interrelated hazards) in volcanic environments<\/li>\n<li>Disaster risk reduction<\/li>\n<li>Global reporting of volcanic activity and impact<\/li>\n<li>Citizen science<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-3\"><div class=\"col-12\"><ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myriadproject.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MYRIAD-EU<\/a> (2021-2025):\u00a0WP1 lead and BGS project manager.\u00a0Project vision is to catalyse the paradigm shift required to move towards a multi-risk, multi-sector, systemic approach to risk management.
