Home / Dr. David O’Byrne
David O’Byrne is a post-doctoral fellow at Lund University with a PhD in Sustainability Science (2020). His research interests include the effects of environmental change on deltaic, coastal and natural resource dependent communities; the role of civil society and social movements as agents of social change for sustainability, and methodological and theoretical development for sustainability science, and interdisciplinary environmental sciences more generally. Within the HABITABLE project, David will be working on conceptualizing and measuring both the causes and the impacts of migration. He will contribute with knowledge and skills from previous research in his PhD project, which dealt with multiple forms of migration including, planned resettlement, migrant labour and coastal-inland migration due to socially mediated environmental change.
