I wanted to broaden my knowledge. In my first year of the master I realized that the natural hazard side of risk management could easily be connected to learning and feedback loops that I had studied. After writing my master thesis in Societal Risk Management, a PhD position was announced. It was very close to what I had studied and written about so I applied and was selected to continue research on feedback and lessons learned concerning natural hazards effects on the land infrastructure, specifically on roads and railways in Sweden. The position is financed by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket).</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> </div> <div> <h3>What does your research help us understand?</h3> <div> <div>I hope that my studies can be part of a platform for lessons learned. My research gives an understanding of how compound decisions are. The effects of a decision is not always direct or clear, sometimes is the outcome of a decision far away in time. </div> <div>I also hope that our efforts in today’s society to become more resilient through adaptation measurements will succeed. If we can learn from previous experiences we do have a chance to become more prepared, we can adjust and change our processes to a more resilient society. Noteworthy is that I see mitigation measurements and adaptation as two sides of the same coin. I also see adaptation and risk management in coexistence, by using similar approaches for enhancing processes for change.</div> </div> <div></div> </div> <div> <h3>What would you like to research in the future?</h3> <div>I would like to continue my research in this field of risk management and learning from natural hazards. I think that the complexity of dependencies among and between different stakeholders would be interesting to explore further.<br /> I would also like to see more of transdisciplinary research in this field, I can sense that society would benefit from research that considered different perspectives as means to build stronger platforms of knowledge.</div> </div> </div> </article> <!-- index_stop --> <div class="page-tools-bottom page-tools rs_preserve"> <div class="page-tool print"> <span class="print-icon"> <a accessKey="P" href="#" class="js-print-page">Print</a> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="footer-element show-hosted-by-uu"> <div class="footer-content-wrap container"> <div class="unit size1of3 "> <h2>CONTACT US</h2> <div class="footer-content"> <p>Contact us</p> <p><strong>You can also find us on:</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/CNDS_Sweden" target="_blank"><img alt="Twitter" src="/digitalAssets/609/c_609248-l_1-k_twitter_logo_blue.png" style="border-style:solid;
