Hi I have recently started working toward a PhD looking at geoengineering governance issues. I’m a very raw new researcher with much to learn and a very long way to go. For example, I still need to define my research question! I’m hoping the group will be an interesting and useful resource, but also that I will be able to contribute interesting or useful ideas in due course.
By way of background. I’m a (very) mature student having recently left the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council after 21 years. At the ESRC I was programme manger for their work and funding on environment, energy and food research. In that role I was, for example, an interested party in the SPICE project, contributed to the cross research council debate on geoengineering investment strategy and drafted joint texts for the councils – e.g the UK’s Research Councils submission to the UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee enquiry on the regulation of geoengineering. As such I have some insight to the issues, but at present very much from a funders (civil servant's) rather than researcher's perspective (perhaps best described as broad but shallow, very). Now starts the adventure of learning to be a researcher! I look forward to learning from members and hopefully making useful contributions in due course too.
