Sarah Laborde has joined the MORSL lab as our new post-doctoral researcher. She is an interdisciplinary scholar with an interest in the complex and dynamic interconnections between people and aquatic ecosystems. With a background in geology and water resources engineering, she completed a PhD at the University of Western Australia in 2012 with joint affiliations in environmental engineering and cultural anthropology. Her doctoral research focused on the interactions between hydrological regimes and sociocultural understandings and practices in the Lake Como basin in Italy. As a MORSL-postdoctoral fellow, she will be working with us on an interdisciplinary project that aims to model the Logone floodplain in northern Cameroon as a complex social-ecological system. Her key focus will be on the cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of fishing practices in the floodplain, and their links and possible feedbacks with other processes of the social-ecological system (political, hydrological, ecological).
