Dr Liz Marks is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Bath, a Clinical Psychologist and deputy director of the Bath Centre for Mindfulness and Community. Her research focuses on the psychological burdens and mental health implications of climate change and environmental degradation, particularly in vulnerable groups such as children and young people. She is interested in understanding the role that eco-emotions and eco-distress may have in shaping people’s responses to these crises, and how distress may be associated with perceived failure of action by governments and other powerful bodies. She also explores innovative ways of developing resilience and psychological adaptation to climate change and associated distress using a range of approaches with individuals, groups and communities.
