Michael is a critical geographer who studies the intersecting social, economic and political inequalities caused by the impacts of, and our responses to, climate change and other environmental issues in both the Majority World and the Minority World. His current research is guided by the concepts of climate & environmental justice, adaptation, post-politics, resilience, urban sustainability, and intersectionality.

Michael is published in a number of academic journals including the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, Geoforum, New Political Economy, Area, The Lancet Planetary Health and Climate and Development.
