Dr Mel Rohse researches people’s everyday experiences and perceptions of environmental change, with a focus on personal and collective narratives of transition and resilience (including any barriers to those), particularly in the context of sustainable energy and water consumption. She is also interested in emotions, affect and energy geographies and is also working on developing new projects on community energy projects and energy justice; user engagement with new energy technologies; and resources scarcity and rural livelihoods in the Global South. She currently leads the project Underground energy on-the-ground, funded by the UKUH (Unconventional Hydrocarbons in the UK Energy System) NERC-ESRC Consortium, and has collaborated on a range of other projects funded by NERC, Horizon 2020, the EPSRC, UKERC and AHRC.
