Dr Charles Warren (Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews)
Dr Charles Warren’s career started with three degrees in quick succession - an MA in Geography at Oxford (1985), an MSc in Natural Resource Management at Edinburgh (1987) and then a NERC-funded PhD in Glaciology (1990), also at Edinburgh. Having worked in Greenland during his PhD, he then continued his research on the interaction between glaciers and climate change in Patagonia during a 3-year NERC Research Fellowship based in Edinburgh. In 1995 he moved to St Andrews as a Lecturer and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2003. In 2004 he was awarded the Presidents Medal of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. More recently his interests have moved more into environmental management and sustainable development, both in his research and teaching. A second edition of his 2002 book Managing Scotlands Environment will appear in 2009, and he is actively involved in researching the debates surrounding the development of renewable energy, especially the nature of public attitude.
