Dr. Christine Eriksen is the Principal Investigator of FiRES – a five-year project funded by a Consolidator Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, and hosted by the Department of Humanities, Political and Social Sciences at ETH Zürich.
Her work focuses on social dimensions of disasters, particularly people’s ability to coexist with wildfire. She considers broader contexts, such as cultural norms, political agendas, climate change, and environmental history.
Christine is the author of two books and over 100 other publications. Her work builds on two decades of fire research, with case studies spanning Australia, North America, Europe, and Africa.
