Biography
Conor is a Professor in the Department of Geography at Maynooth University. His research interests are interdisciplinary and focus on hydroclimatology, historical Climatology and adaptation to climate change. Conor has been awarded over €6 million in funding as PI or Co-I from National and European sources. His research engages closely with enterprise, public bodies and communities. He has consistently published in top ranking international journals including; Science, Nature, Nature Climate Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (see publications tab for full list). He has also published numerous book chapters and government reports informing policy in the area.
Conor has supervised 8 PhD researchers to completion and currently works with a talented team of post docs, Phds and Research Assistants within the Irish Climate Analysis and Research UnitS (ICARUS). Since 2008 Conor has been course director for the MSc Climate Change at Maynooth University, overseeing successful completion of more tha 180 masters’ students. He teaches modules on climate variability and change, adaptation and decision making under uncertainty at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Conor sits on the National Climate Change Adaptation Committee. He acts as external examiner for Geography at Dublin City University and the MSc Climate Change at Queens University Belfast. He is also a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Extreme Events.
