Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parsons, K. J., Lloyd Williams, A., Skinner, C., & Parsons, D. R. (2022, May). Immersive storytelling and the power of using 360 to amplify the experiences, agency and action of children and young people facing flood risk. Paper presented at European Geosciences Union, Vienna, Austria

Flood hazard is projected to at least double by 2050 as a consequence of the impacts of climate change, meaning many more societies and communities will need to be able to mitigate and adapt to the resultant increase in flood risk.

One often overl... Read More about Immersive storytelling and the power of using 360 to amplify the experiences, agency and action of children and young people facing flood risk.

Mapping hedgerow gaps and fostering positive environmental behaviours through a combination of citizen scientists and artificial intelligence (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parsons, K., & Wolstenholme, J. (2021, April). Mapping hedgerow gaps and fostering positive environmental behaviours through a combination of citizen scientists and artificial intelligence. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021 (European Geosciences Union), vEGU21: Gather Online
