In April, InSIS will welcome Oxford researcher Dr Michael Gilmont who will be working with Professor Rayner on the project 'Decoupling Food and Water Security in a Middle-East in Flux - Insights from Israel and Transferable Lessons for Jordan and Palestine' (DeFWS).
Michael is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford Environmental Change Institute (ECI) and a Research Associate of InSIS. His interests include the application of interdisciplinary political, economic and hydrological approaches to analysing water resource development and use.
DeFWS is a joint project between Oxford University, the WANA Institute (a policy think tank based in Amman, Jordan), and EcoPeace Middle East (an environmental organisation with offices in Amman, Bethlehem, and Tel-Aviv), and is funded by the British Council in Israel.
