He has been actively researching safety, equity and sustainability of travel for over 20 years with a particular emphasis recently on sustainability of transport. He is currently leading a large multi-centre project funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) on 'Visions for the Role of Walking and Cycling in 2030: a future look to try to understand the role that these modes could play in creating a more sustainable transport system and a more inclusive society and how they might lead to improvements in individual health and quality of life. A second current project, also funded by EPSRC, is looking at 'Understanding Walking and Cycling' - this project seeks to understand more fully household travel decision making and the motivations behind why people choose to walk and cycle and how this understanding can be used to develop measures to increase uptake of these modes. He has just completed a range of projects which have looked at sustainable transportation more generally, including work funded through the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research on 'Behavioural Response and Lifestyle Change in Moving to Low Carbon Futures' and work funded through the Swedish MISTRA programme in the 'IMPACT' project (Implementation Paths for Action towards Sustainable Mobility) and is contributing to the European Union funded COST358 project on 'Pedestrian Quality Needs'.

	Dr Matt Thompson Dr Matt Thompson is Research Associate on the EPSRC-funded Urban Retrofit project. Retrofit 2050 is an exciting new research initiative which will respond to the challenge of retrofitting the city in a purposive and managed way by bringing together to disconnected issues and asking: "what" is to be done to the city (technical knowledge, targets, technological options, costs, etc) and "how" will it be implemented (institutions, publics, governance). In so doing, it cuts across SURF's agendas on urban transitions, low carbon urban futures and urban knowledge exchange. Matt has previously worked for SURF and has contributed to the development of SURF's agenda on sustainable hydrogen energy and renewable energy technologies. This agenda provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the challenges for cities and regions in innovating with hydrogen and renewable energy technologies, and in reshaping the social and technical organisation of cities' energy systems.

In so doing, it cuts across SURF's agendas on urban transitions, low carbon urban futures and urban knowledge exchange. Contact Matt by email.

	Dr Jim Watson Offering Expertise in: Energy security and its interactions with climate change mitigation strategies Energy, Climate Change and Development Energy Networks and Systems Jim is involved in research on low carbon innovation policies and low carbon technologies. Current work includes leading a UK Energy Research Centre project on carbon capture and storage (CCS). This builds on previous research in a Sussex Energy Group project: Cleaner Fossil Fuels and Carbon Capture and Storage. and collaboration with the Managment and Economics Department at the University of Linkoping in Sweden on innovation within the multinational electrical equipment industry. Jim is also working on a number of projects focusing on low carbon growth, innovation and technology transfer with a particular focus on India and China which involved engaging with policy makers in the UK and other countries. Dr Jim Watson is co-leader with Professor Catherine Mitchell of an ESRC/EPSRC interdisciplinary research cluster: Energy Security in a Multi-Polar World (2009-2012). My recent work has included a contribution to a Policy Network pamphlet (published in June 2009) on climate change politics edited by Anthony Giddens, Simon Latham and Roger Liddle. I am also working with colleagues on a number of projects that focus on the role of particular energy technologies and forms of organisation within future energy systems, This includes collaborating with SEG Visiting Fellow Alister Scott on the potential impacts of new nuclear investment on UK energy security, and the broader consequences for the UK energy system. It also includes a role in a NERC-funded multi-scale analysis of carbon capture and storage systems in the UK led by Imperial College, and a project led by my colleague Adrian Smith on Community Innovations in Sustainable Energy.

	Mike Hodson Offering Expertise in: Urban, regional and community transitions to low-carbon economies Transitions to low carbon urban futures The ways in which forms of knowledge are mobilised, negotiated and organised to inform low carbon action Mike has developed projects funded by the European Commission, UK research councils, sub-national government and through private consultancy. These have principally addressed relationships between sub-national territories and the reconfiguration of their key socio-technical infrastructures in a period of globalisation, neoliberalisation and in a context of the challenges posed by climate change and resource constraint. Most recently Mike has written World Cities and Climate Change (2010, Open University Press, Maidenhead) with Simon Marvin and has edited an international collection on Cities and Low Carbon Transitions (2011, London, Routledge) with Harriet Bulkeley, Vanesa Castan Broto and Simon Marvin.
