Adam Moolna

As Lecturer in Environment & Sustainability, I want to bring environmental education and advocacy to life by engaging students with real life projects and the people working on them. I am an experienced practitioner outside of academia aspiring to integrate understanding with action in scholarship transcending the boundaries between science and society. My scholarship has become focused on Blue Economy approaches to integrating sustainable development, climate action and conservation linked to coasts and the ocean. With family roots in the western Indian Ocean, I was inspired by conservation in Mauritius and Seychelles from an early age. I did my BSc Natural Sciences at Durham University, MSc Conservation at University College London, and PhD at the University of Manchester. I’ve had the pleasure of an interdisciplinary post-doc in Earth Sciences at Oxford University, managing a conservation NGO in Seychelles, working for an environmental consultancy across the UK, and being part of the development team at the Lancashire Wildlife Trust before joining Keele University in 2017.
