Diane Horn is a Reader in Coastal Geomorphology in the Department of Geography, Environment and Development Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London (http://www.bbk.ac.uk/geds/our-staff/full-time-academic-staff/horn). Her research interests include beach processes and the role of non-structural approaches, such as flood insurance and land-use planning, in reducing risk in coastal hazard areas. She was the first Visiting Scholar appointed under the ODU Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative, working with Michael McShane on a comparative study of flood insurance in the UK and the US. The first paper from their collaboration will be in the November 2013 issue of Nature Climate Change and will be published online on 25 October. |
