Carina J. Fearnley is a lecturer in Environmental Hazards at the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University. She is an interdisciplinary researcher bringing together hazard science, disaster management, and science and technology studies to better understand natural hazard early warning systems, specifically volcano alert level systems. Recently, research interests have broadened to the application and analysis of science and art collaborations for natural hazards, as well as the role of geopolitics in making early warning systems effective.
