Personal Profiles
Mr Peter Bradley
BSc MSc
Postgraduate Research Student
Short Biography:
Peter joined CES and RESOLVE in May 2006 as an EPSRC research fellow, he became a full time PhD student in 2008 in order to pursue the development of commercial local area resource and emissions (CLARE) modelling for his PhD. The aim of the PhD project is to develop a framework that can generate estimates of the physical amount of direct and indirect green house gas emissions, wastes and water use for either individual businesses of a specific sector, or all businesses of a specified sector within a defined geographic area. The case studies for the PhD are the Hospitality sector and the Food retail sector.
Peter’s EPSRC fellowship (completed end of 2007) focused on the industrial and social ecology of urban resource flows. The principal objective of the project was to strengthen the theoretical foundation for sustainable waste management by developing a conceptual framework for mapping resource flows through the urban environment and applying this framework to selected illustrative case studies.
Previous work before joining CES was most recently (2006) with Risk & Policy Analysts Plc as an Environmental Economics Researcher. Here a range of environment related projects were worked on for the UK Government and European Commission amongst others.
In 1999 Peter worked with Magna Interior Systems (Bitton division) as an Environmental Projects Assistant as part of the ''Year in Industry Scheme''. His main role in the company was to help run the health and safety and environmental management systems for the company.
Specific academic qualifications held are an MSc in Economic Management and Policy from the University of Strathclyde Business School (2004), and a BSc degree in Environmental Science (specialising in chemistry) from the University of Plymouth (2003).
Disciplines and Research Interests:
My research is interdisciplinary. I am an ecological economist, particularly interested in how to staying with environmental limits and how to achieve more sustainable economies. Specifically, my research focus is to understand the links between environment, economy and sustainability. My environment, economy and sustainability analysis is conducted though the use of environmental input - output accounting and modelling as well as institutional economics applied to analyse more sustainable economies.
