ECR training session: academic publishing strategies and paper development

This session, hosted by the RGS-IBG Climate Change Research Group, will provide early career researchers with advice on academic publishing strategies and paper development.

About the speakers

Dr Helena Hastie, Lecturer in Geography at the University of Exeter.

Dr Hastie conducts research on access to electricity and energy transitions in southern Africa, focusing in particular on renewable energy generation, the extension of the electricity grid to rural households, and the affordability of different energy options.

A specific area of interest is how development can be re-imagined to better represent the aspirations of those it seeks to help.

Professor Janet Hooke is the Emeritus John Rankin Professor of Geography and Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Liverpool, within the School of Environmental Sciences. Her expertise lies in geomorphology, environmental management, and sustainable landscape approaches.

Professor Hooke has been recognised for her influential work, including authoring one of the top-10 papers in geomorphology over the past 30 years. She has also served as a Visiting Professor at Rhodes University, South Africa, and was appointed to Natural England’s Science Advisory Committee.

Her research focuses on fluvial geomorphology, desertification, and environmental change, with a strong emphasis on applied and sustainable environmental management strategies.
