Biography
Dr Seona Meharg is an interdisciplinary social scientist researching how individuals and organisations learn and change, specifically asking what enables individuals and groups to take up ownership of knowledge, tools, and processes for more informed decision-making in complex domains such as climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction and health.
Seona’s research addresses the vital challenge of implementation, asking why even with the necessary information, people do not act. In addition, her research measures the impact of how changes in behaviour and knowledge lead to improved decisions and actions.
