Spotlight on... Professor Richard Taylor

This week we chat to Richard Taylor, Professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Geography, who is off to COP26 in Glasgow on Sunday. Here, we find out about the top item on his agenda at COP26 and his favourite place - a scenic spot in eastern equatorial Africa. What is your role and what does it involve?. I am a Professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Geography. I teach undergraduate and post-graduate courses, supervise PhD students, and conduct research. My research focuses on groundwater-based solutions to expand and sustain water and food supplies in low-income countries of the tropics that are most affected by climate change but the least responsible for it - I am off to COP26 in Glasgow on Sunday for week two on adaptation and climate justice. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?.
