With an interest in the more-than-human assemblages of coastal areas and a research background in sociology, environmental science, and international coastal resource management, Malcolm continues to find himself at the intersection of community-based management and integrated ecosystem-based management of coastal and marine protected areas. Drawing on his past experiences, his PhD research explored the relationships between assigned landscape values, perceived climate change risks, and socio-ecological discourses in the Huon Valley coastalscape. Employing a hybrid methodology that included hydro-spatial decision support systems, semi-structured interviews, public participation GIS, and Q-method, his project reconsidered the framing of climate change adaptation through an object-oriented landscape theoretical lens. Following his PhD research, Malcolm works for Huon Valley Council as the Manager of Environmental Sustainability and is responsible for council's natural resource management, climate change, and sustainability education initiatives. In his role, he strives for more just and transformative adaptation and resilience actions.
