Katharine Welsh is an Associate Professor and University Innovation Fellow. Katharine teaches on the BSc Geography and Natural Hazard Management programme. As a University Innovation Fellow, she leads strategic educational change projects and supports the enhancement of academic practice across the University. Her research interests include technology enhanced learning, particularly in fieldwork environments. She is also interested in catchment scale flood modelling and community flood resilience. Since the COVID-19 pandemic she has had an interest in how households and individuals can ‘learn from’ their experiences to build resilience for future socio-economic crises and this has led to exploration of the potential of gamification to support more sustainable lifestyles.
