Dr Lucila Newell has waded into the murky waters of the Upper River Medway to collect data on biodiversity and pollution levels, working with a team of volunteers in a 'citizen science' approach. This timely work has also been covered by national media: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/research/centres/sussex-sustainability-research-programme/ssrp-perspectives/blog?id=65150

Dr Chi Eziefula splits her time between teaching, research, and working in a hospital. Her research examines the health, human rights and social justice, and environmental dimensions of menstrual health - particularly in Uganda, Kenya, Sudan and the UK: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/research/centres/sussex-sustainability-research-programme/research/menstrual-health-rights-sustainability

Professor Fiona Marshall's area of specialism is transformative sustainability science, and she led an SSRP project mapping peri-urban agriculture in China and India which explored ways of integrating data to support research on urban sustainability policy: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/research/centres/sussex-sustainability-research-programme/research/tradeoffs-between-sdgs

We look forward to seeing what these brilliant researchers do next! 💚
