Anthropogenic perturbation of global biogeochemical cycles, integrated environmental resource management, environmental governance, sustainability science, and conceptualisations of humans in the Earth system.
Sarah Cornell does integrative socio-environmental research and teaching at the University of Bristol. Her PhD (UEA, 1991-1995) and early post-doctoral research was in marine and atmospheric chemistry. She then worked in the Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment on integrated assessment projects, and then moved to the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change in a role that linked vulnerability research and research strategy development. Since 2004, she has been at Bristol, again in a hybrid role as synthesis scientist/science manager for the NERC-funded international multi-consortium programme QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System).
Member of Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology since 2000; currently member of Council and trustee on Board of Trustees.
Member of Royal Society of Chemistry since 1992
Member of Challenger Society for Marine Science; Council member 1999-2005.
