Sarah started her MPhil programme in Geography in 2015 and upgraded to a Ph.D. Her thesis, ‘Determinants of Drought Risks and Adaptation Response Options in Farming Communities across Clarendon Jamaica’ focused on risks associated with water scarcity and adaptation practices among farmers in one of Jamaica’s breadbasket regions, Clarendon. This interdisciplinary research is one of the first in the Caribbean to use the IPCC’s Climate Risk Framework to characterize drought risks and impacts at multiple scales in a single study. The work was supported by The UWI Research and Publications Grant, UWI Postgraduate Scholarship and Geography Department. Her primary supervisor was Dr. Donovan Campbell.
