A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale (2024)
Journal Article

Within the coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), social-water interactions exhibit the ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ patterns, where social development is dependent on the local and external environment for resource provision, respectively. Sustai... Read More about A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale.

Exploring domestic consumption patterns: A HomeLabs study on water and energy use (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Water and energy utilities are in constant pursuit of deeper insights into consumer use patterns within homes. Traditional demand management strategies often rely on an "information deficit" model, presuming that consumer behaviour can be altered sim...
