My research, with the working title 'Adapting Coastal Heritage: A Comparative Study of Material Change and Emerging Opportunities across Scotland’s Diverse Coasts', explores how heritage can support coastal communities in Scotland as they respond to the accelerating impacts of climate change. I examine how changing coastlines — shaped by both environmental forces and human interventions — affect heritage and how communities adapt, resist, or reimagine their relationships to place. I am particularly interested in how these responses contribute to community resilience in the face of ongoing environmental uncertainty.

To explore these questions in depth, the project adopts a comparative case study approach across diverse and dynamic coastal environments. It considers how environmental processes, temporalities, local social histories, and cultural values shape what is preserved, what is mourned, and how different forms of resilience emerge in response to coastal transformation.

This research contributes to wider efforts to integrate lived experience, local knowledge, and cultural values into climate adaptation research and policy. Working closely with communities and combining qualitative insights with environmental data, I aim to support more place-based, equitable, and culturally responsive approaches to climate change.
