Summary<\/h2>\n

Hazel Napier leads BGS\u2019s geoscience and society theme established in 2015 to enhance the use of geoscience in addressing complex societal problems through the development of multi-and inter-disciplinary research with collaborators outside the natural sciences. Hazel has active collaborations with a number of university social scientists, human geographers and legal scholars at the universities of Strathclyde, Stirling, Leicester, Lancaster, Plymouth and Exeter. Research streams being developed include: value of social media for disaster risk reduction in vulnerable communities in the Caribbean (ODA), the relationship between public perception, engagement and attitudes towards underground energy technologies; the role of energy literacy and valuations of subsurface energy solutions; the value of the subsurface in the renewable energy mix and energy security; governance and ownership of the subsurface. Hazel chairs a BGS working group on defining new ethical guidelines for BGS research, is involved in developing social science training for BGS geoscientists and is a member of the Natural Hazards Partnership<\/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
