“#Bulbulcyclone came and washed away everything. This used to happen when I was little, but not so badly. Something is definitely happening.” Male, 54, Sagar Island, Ganges Delta #phd #fieldtrip University of Exeter Doctoral College

“We dry and sell fish for a living. Nowadays, we catch a lot of plastic. It also washes on the beach too. We don’t know where it comes from.” Male, 46, Sagar Island, Ganges Delta. #phd #fieldtrip #climatechangeadaptation University of Exeter Doctoral College

“When I was little up no one cared about education. I don’t know how to write, read or anything. I will live here forever; if I cross the river how would I survive there? I have to stay here for the rest of my days. My children will not be like that. They will get an education.“

The Indian supreme court has declared that state governments will have to pay their citizens compensation if they fail to provide clean air and water #pollution #humanrights theguardian.com/world/2019/nov…

The wait is over: you can now read the World Migration Report 2021, including Chapter 9 on Human Mobility and Adaptation to Environmental Change iom.int/wmr/2020/chapt…

“Water is washing our lands and houses away. What’s [land] left is full of salt and can’t use to grow rice. Cyclones are always happening. The government is not helping us.” Female, 37, Sagar Island, Ganges Delta #climatechange #phd #research #fieldtrip

Spot on! I'm often asked about #ClimateChange & 'apocalyptic' #migration to Europe That narrative misses the point of #ClimateJustice by always focusing on Europe. It ignores that most climate migrants move (& will move) within their own country If a tree falls in a forest..

I met with over 200 people in the Ganges Delta and they all believe that education is key to livelihood diversification in the context of environmental change. Despite Indians spending heavily on education, there are few jobs in sight x.com/i/events/12002…

You know you’ve been in the field for way too long when a fresh glass of orange juice excites you more than Christmas morning. #phd #fieldtrip #gangedelta

Stopped for speeding in India. Police: You are over the speed limit. 500r fine. Driver: I was not. I was not!! Police: look at the speed camera! Driver: your camera must not work! ..20 min later.. Me: what’s the speed limit here? ...no one able to answer... #fieldtripadventures

Congrats to my dear friend @kieranp_mcc for being awarded best presentation at #RCUK2019 👏🏼

Fieldwork can be hard, mentally and physically. Nonetheless, I will miss the days out in the field with my lovely team tremendously.

Male scientists are more likely than female ones to publish work that describes itself as “excellent”, “unique” or “novel”, experts have found – a swagger that appears to reap dividends in respect of how often others reference the research. theguardian.com/science/2019/d…

The report by the Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (#GAHP) found pollution to be the largest environmental cause of premature death on the planet, causing 15% of all deaths – some 8.3 million people. theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
