My name is Jade Jones

I am a postgraduate researcher currently undertaking a PhD thesis on the case for a legally binding and cross-jurisdictional network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Arctic. A key theme within my research is the extent to which an Arctic MPA network may balance the concept of environmental stewardship against conflicting social equity considerations.

Given the nature of my research interests, the majority of blog posts will be focused on the Arctic. However, the interdisciplinary character of environmental problems and governance means blog posts will draw on a variety of sources.
