Background
Dr Simon Jude joined Cranfield University in May 2010 as a Research Fellow. He completed his MSc and PhD at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia.
Prior to this post, he worked for the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research’s Coastal Research Programme, where he was involved in a wide range of projects. These included developing and testing innovative virtual reality visualisation tools to communicate the impacts of future coastal change, and exploring the use of such tools in the economic valuation of landscape change and participatory coastal management processes.
Dr Jude was also a member of the team developing the Tyndall Coastal Simulator decision-support system, and worked with spatial planners and decision-makers from the UK, France and Netherlands, to evaluate the impact of climate change on coastal habitats and its implications for spatial planning processes and the EU Habitats Directive.
More recently Dr Jude has worked in the offshore renewable energy sector developing spatial analysis tools to evaluate and mitigate project risks.
