Dr Douglas Bardsley is an Associate Professor within the Department for Geography, Environment and Population, which sits within the School of Social Sciences at Adelaide University.Trained as a social geographer, an educator and an agricultural scientist, Doug's research interests over the last 30 years have focused on environmental and agricultural risk management, links between conservation and development, and education for sustainable development. Most of his research involves analysis and planning at the interface of social and environmental systems, with a focus on developing adaptation options to respond to climate change.His research has included supporting climate change adaptation planning for the Adelaide-Mt Lofty Ranges and the Indigenous Alinytjara Wilurara natural resource management regions in South Australia; resilience analysis within agricultural systems and rural communities; bushfire, water, coastal and invasive species risk management; and the study of interactions between environmental change and both human migration and education systems. Doug's work has been undertaken within different contexts in Australia, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, China, Fiji, Ghana, Switzerland and the European Union.
