Brief Biography (English)

Dr Louise Carin Gammage is trained as an Environmental Geographer, and her current inter- and transdisciplinary work focuses on marine social-ecological systems (SESs) and fisheries in South Africa.

Her Research, taking a system view, make use of integrative and iterative methods (such as participatory modelling) to promote understanding of and inform decision-making in marine SESs at various scales of interaction.

She is interested in exploring innovative methodologies (such as structured decision-making tools) to (amongst others) address challenges related to scale and decision-making in complex adaptive systems; understanding drivers of change in SESs with an eye to improving the present and future decision-making, and exploring ways that local stakeholders (such as fishers) can build adaptive capacity while informing governance and policy at larger decision-making scales by using approaches such as scenario planning.

Dr Gammage has Experience with semi-quantitative modelling techniques (such as cognitive (causal) mapping and Bayesian network modelling), qualitative and quantitative data, interviews and surveys, group facilitation, scenario planning and fieldwork.
