Dr Geoff Main AFHEA FRGS

 

I'm an interdisciplinary geographer with research across physical and human geography. My primary research focuses on the multiple and complex ways in which natural hazards (including earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, floods, storms, coastal erosion etc.) interact with human society across spatial and temporal scales. This primarily involves exploring questions around risk, uncertainty, vulnerability, resilience, sustainability, disaster management and disaster risk reduction. In recent years, my attention has moved to consider these interactions on small island states, with a specialist focus on the small island state of Malta (Central Mediterranean), and in the context of island-based tourism.

 

I qualified with a BSc and MA in Geography from Aberystwyth University, following this with a PhD in Geography from Liverpool Hope University (2020). At Liverpool Hope, I held a Graduate Teaching Assistantship (2016-2019) before moving to the University of Chester as a Visiting Lecturer in 2020. I am currently a Lecturer (Education & Scholarship) in Geography at the Centre for Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Exeter (Penryn (Cornwall) Campus).
