Isabel is an environmental social scientist, with a particular research focus on coastal and marine issues, and public perceptions of these. She joined the Landscape 1 Team of ResNet in 2023 to support the data analysis of a household survey on how the public use and value dykelands and tidal wetland landscapes in the Minas Basin of Nova Scotia. Isabel is a postdoctoral researcher at Queen Mary University of London, researching community and stakeholder perceptions and experiences of coastal change as part of the 3-year RACC programme (Resilience of Anthropocene Coasts and Communities). RACC will work with communities and policymakers to co-develop policy options for coastal areas that have historic coastal landfills, alongside a risk of erosion or flooding. Isabel completed her PhD at the University of East Anglia, which examined public and policymaker perceptions of managing coastal change and the Bacton-Walcott sandscaping scheme on the North Norfolk coast in the UK.
