I enjoy the broad nature of geography, from volcanoes and other hazards to urban environments. I continuously try to link the different 'strands' of geography into one all-encompassing, holistic image in order to improve the world around us. For example, natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, pose a significant hazard to the cities that surround them, further intensified by urban sprawl and social inequality. Meanwhile, urban pollution is causing anthropogenic change which results in accelerated sea-level rises and more extreme climates, which generally hit lower socio-economic groups the hardest. One can always draw links between human, physical, environmental, economic and political geographies be it through the causes or the impacts.
