Local knowledge sought for climate change research project
Published: 27 November 2025
Academics at UofG are launching an appeal to residents Ayr, Dumfries and Wick for their feedback on the impacts of climate change on communities & residents’ mental health as part of a new research project. The project, led by PhD student Rhiannon Hawkins (GES) aims to help areas prone to flooding better defend their communities from increased incidences of rising water in the years ahead, as well as help safeguard their mental resilience. The project will also examine the effects of drought.
