Research background

Caroline’s interdisciplinary research background focusses on aspects of disaster risk reduction, resilience and recovery, community and business resilience, risk communication and scenario planning for impacts to critical infrastructure and emergency management during earthquake disasters. Her theoretical contributions relate to understanding the nexus between resilience and sustainability, and she considers resilient communities to be inherently more sustainable in the long term. She has a passion for developing applied research outcomes that can make a difference to our society, particularly in building social capital through networks and connections, and working with communities to build resilience. Caroline’s research platform has been underpinned by collaborations with many outstanding postgraduate research students over the last decade. She thoroughly enjoys supervising students, and loves to observe their successes in life after their studies at the Centre for Sustainability.

Caroline is an Associate Director for QuakeCoRE (the New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence for Earthquake Resilience), and is co-lead for Disciplinary Theme 4 Social and Cultural Factors shaping Resilience with Distinguished Professor David Johnston (Massey University). She was the Co-lead of the Disaster Resilient Rural Communities programme (2019–2024) with Professor Tom Wilson (University of Canterbury) and subsequently Professor Christine Kenney (Massey University) as part of Resilience to Nature’s Challenges (2014–2024).

In 2023, Caroline had success with Endeavour programme funding (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment), and is the co-lead of Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke – Building resilience to earthquake sequences in the Transition Zone (2024-2028), with Associate Professor Jamie Howarth (Victoria University Wellington). This programme will deliver an interdisciplinary perspective towards understanding the potential for future earthquake sequences in the plate boundary transition zone across central New Zealand, and the risk implications for communities, iwi, local and central government.

As Science Lead for the award-winning AF8 programme from 2016–2023, Caroline worked with a wide team of Alpine Fault scientists and emergency management practitioners and policy-makers to improve New Zealand’s capability to respond and recover from a future magnitude 8 earthquake on the Alpine Fault. The AF8 programme has made a significant contribution to supporting awareness and preparedness in high-risk communities, and developing risk understanding and planning amongst emergency management and their partner agencies. Building strong networks across communities, emergency response agencies and research institutions is key to developing societal resilience to natural hazards. Caroline considers her involvement in AF8 as a career highlight, and continues to support the programme alongside the new AF8 Science Lead Dr Tom Robinson (University of Canterbury) and AF8 Programme Manager Alice Lake-Hammond.
