My research interest is the phenomenon of trust - how people come to trust (or not), and what the character or quality of that phenomenon is in different contexts. So what does it mean to trust environmental data, or environmental data science? How is trust complicated by inherent uncertainties in environmental data science? What can be done to maximise well-placed trust and minimise poorly-placed trust? These and other questions are central to my interests in the Decision-Making Under Uncertainty theme.
