Background

Paul specialises in Assessment and Management of Risk and Impact of Socio-Environmental determinants on the Wellbeing of our younger generations across their life span.

His overall vision is about how we use Environmental Health Intelligence to improve decision-making towards delivering more efficient Environmental Health Practices, Services and Solutions for local and regional communities in remote and disadvantaged socio-economic settings.

Within the complex interdisciplinary domains that hold the socio-environmental determinants of wellbeing, Paul’s operational research focuses on how / what interventions would best support communities to prevent, mitigate and adapt to EH risk and impact in rapidly changing environments and climate.

Research interests

  • Socio-Environmental Risk and Impact on Wellbeing

    Paul specialises in Assessment and Management of Socio-environmental Risk and Impact on Wellbeing - thus spanning the complex interdisciplinary nature of how rapidly changing environments and climate will affect the younger generations across their life span within current and future local, regional and global settings.

  • Environmental Health Intelligence

    How we use Environmental Health Intelligence will determine whether we can improve practical application and decision-making to deliver more efficient Environmental Health Services and Solutions - especially to remote communities of low socio-economic settings.
