Melissa Nursey-Bray
Professor Melissa Nursey-Bray, is from the Department of Geography, Environment and Population (GEP), at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
Her work investigates the connection between people and the environment and focusses on how to engage communities to be part of environmental decision making, particularly in the context of climate change and biodiversity protection. In this capacity she has worked with Indigenous, ports, local government and fishing communities on a range of projects. These projects have examined how conflict, social and cultural values, knowledge, social learning and perceptions affect how people become involved in or help drive environmental sustainability.
Her most recent work explores how different communities can adapt to climate change including the development of adaptation strategies with Indigenous peoples. Melissa is the Convenor of the Adaptation, Community and Environment Research Group (ACE) which focusses on engaging communities in building their capacity to respond to change. Melissa obtained her PhD from James Cook University, and now has over 110 publications including 2 books, and many chapters and articles on climate change and Indigenous resource management respectively.
