Research activities

I am particularly interested in theoretical aspects of this new endeavour for planning, including tracing the conceptual origins of marine planning and the need to develop less rationalistic and more responsive approaches within settings as dynamic and uncertain such as the sea. I am currently drawing on post-structuralist interpretations of space and marine geographies, enabling an exploration of the concept of 'lively space and immersed planning'.

The evolution of marine spatial planning in Europe

Transboundary marine spatial planning

Development scenarios for European seas

Offshore wind energy planning in the UK
