Miss Kate Rawlings BSc (Hons) in Geography (2015) from the University of Southampton and MSc (Dist.) in Risk (2017) from Durham University
Postgraduate research student
Miss Kate Rawlings is a Postgraduate Research Student within the School of Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Southampton.
I undertook my undergraduate degree in Physical Geography at the University of Southampton in 2012, with my interest in how environmental hazards affect road travel in communities developed through my dissertation project investigating the impact of storm surges on Tampa, Florida’s road system. Following my graduation from Southampton, I began a master’s in Risk (specialising in environmental hazards) at Durham University. This one year course allowed me to expand my theoretical knowledge and technical skills in risk management and my applied dissertation project used flood modelling to assess the potential impact of flood defences at a local industrial site.
In 2016 I began my ESRC funded PhD project at the University of Southampton, which draws upon the research interests and knowledge acquired from my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
