- I'm a Earth Systems science postgrad in Southampton, UK. In my spare time I'm involved with various permaculture, bushcraft and environmental projects, blogging about some of these at parttimepeasant.wordpress.com. I'm interested in helping to figure out the best ways to build up both human community (rural and urban) and land/ecosystem resilience to better weather upcoming changes in climate, land use demands, energy availability, socioeconomic complexity...
