In particular, work is underway to investigate and propose pathways to operationalise urban greening in consolidating cities.</p> </dd> <dt class="accordion-masterbrand__title" data-sitecore-js-element="accordion-header" data-sitecore-js-trigger="accordion-component" data-event-track="click-toggle-accordion" data-event-purpose="open"> Locating loss from climate change in everyday places <span class="accordion-masterbrand__arrow"></span> </dt> <dd class="accordion-masterbrand__content rich-text-content" data-sitecore-js-target="accordion-component"> <p><span>This ARC-funded Discovery Project (2018-2021), entitled Locating Loss from Climate Change in Everyday Places, involves <a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/carmen-lawrence">Emeritus Professor Carmen Lawrence</a>, <a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/chantal-bourgault-du-coudray">Dr Chantal Bourgault</a>, <a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/karen-paiva-henrique">Dr Karen Paiva Henrique</a>, <a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/paul-plummer">Professor Paul Plummer</a>, and Pierre Horwitz (ECU) as Co-CIs.</span></p> <p><span></span><span>The project aims to advance theory and evidence about social losses from climate change by assessing what rural and urban residents in Western Australia (WA) value about their home places, what they stand to lose from worsening climate risks, and how their efforts to embrace loss and grief may contribute to strengthening community action and social resilience. </span></p> </dd> </dl> <div class="module-footer rich-text-content"> </div> </section> </div></div><div class="module-wrapper clearfix alt-bg no-padding-bottom"><div class="module-container normal"> <div id="" class="rich-text-content"> <h2 style="text-align: center;">PhD opportunities</h2> </div> </div></div> <div class="module-wrapper clearfix alt-bg"><div class="module-container normal"> <div class="info-banner-and-carousel" id="" data-sitecore-js-trigger="banner-carousel" data-sitecore-module="Info Banner and Carousel Module"> <div class="slick-slider-arrows--triangular" data-sitecore-js-trigger="banner-carousel-navigation"></div> <div class="info-banner-and-carousel-slider" data-sitecore-js-target="banner-carousel"> <div class="info-banner-and-carousel-item"> <div class="slider-item info-banner-slide " )> <figure class="slider-item-image-container"> <img src="/schools/-/media/faculties/fable/info-banner-and-carousel/phd-opps-1146x645.jpg?h=645&iar=0&w=1146&hash=219149C6040E0AF6409466D9B6A615CD" class="slider-item-image" alt="PhD opportunities" width="1146" height="645" ap="Center" ch="645" cw="1146" /> </figure> <div class="slider-item-content-container"> <aside class="slider-item-content rich-text-content"> <p>The academics involved in the Centre for Regional Development supervise a range of disciplines and research specialisations, including:</p> <ul> <li>geography</li> <li>regional economics</li> <li>geographic information systems</li> <li> urban and regional planning</li> <li>regional and community development</li> <li>environmental sciences</li> </ul> <p>Interest in PhD opportunities and supervision requests are welcome – please contact the relevant staff member below.</p> </aside> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div class="module-wrapper clearfix"><div class="module-container normal"> <section class="accordion-module"> <h2 class="module-title">Our staff</h2> <div class="module-sub-title"></div> <dl class="accordion-masterbrand" data-sitecore-js-scope="accordion-component" data-multiple="true"> <dt class="accordion-masterbrand__title" data-sitecore-js-element="accordion-header" data-sitecore-js-trigger="accordion-component" data-event-track="click-toggle-accordion" data-event-purpose="open"> Professor Fiona M Haslam McKenzie | Co-Director <span class="accordion-masterbrand__arrow"></span> </dt> <dd class="accordion-masterbrand__content rich-text-content" data-sitecore-js-target="accordion-component"> <p><a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/fiona-mckenzie-2">Professor Fiona Haslam McKenzie</a> has expertise in regional economic development with extensive experience in population and socioeconomic change, housing, and analysis of remote, regional and urban socioeconomic indicators.
