Research Programme Summary

Philip is an interdisciplinary environmental scientist. His research involves developing innovative multi-scale approaches for assessing vulnerability to climate change (especially in the form of drought sensitivity) for dryland African farming systems. Philip’s work uses spatial databases and field-based participatory studies within the broader understanding of how drought affects food production and rural livelihoods with a developing country perspective.
