Biography

C. Patrick Heidkamp is a Professor of Geography in the Department of the Environment, Geography and Marine Sciences at Southern Connecticut State University, USA, and an affiliate faculty member at the University Centre of the Westfjords in Iceland. During much of the editorial work for this volume, he was a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) supported Guest Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Cologne. He is an economic geographer with current research interests in sustainability transitions in the coastal zone and transdisciplinary engagement with the Blue Economy.

John Edward Morrissey is a Lecturer in Geography at Mary Immaculate College (MIC). His research is focused on issues of sustainable development, particularly sustainability transitions, low-carbon development, and challenges of low-carbon economy for urban and coastal communities. John’s work is informed by transdisciplinary approaches with a focus on the spatial and social differentiation of transition processes between communities. John has experience of researching sustainability issues in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Celine Germond-Duret is a Lecturer in Environmental Politics and Policy at Lancaster University, UK. Her expertise covers marine policy and the Blue Economy, international climate politics and global inequalities, indigenous peoples, as well as discourse analysis. Her work aims at unravelling the power relations and dominant discourses in development and environmental politics and highlighting their practical implications. Her research notably appeared in Development and Change; Environment, Development and Sustainability; Marine Policy; Third World Quarterly; and Sustainable Development. She co-edited a special issue on the Blue Economy published in The Geographical Journal and co-authored the "Blue Economy" entry for the International Encyclopedia of Geography (Wiley-AAG).
