Our Executive Team

Prof Karen Wiltshire

Director of Trinity Climate Gateway Climate and Marine Scientist (and Human)

Our climate future holds no straight paths, thus, it is my continued goal to facilitate new routes and create effective networks. The way forward is a human expedition into uncharted terrain and in order to survive  we must find the right traverse based on mitigation, adaptation and courage.

Ms Mary Nagle

I work behind the scenes to support Climate Gateway’s continued growth. Seminal for me was reading David Wallace-Wells’ The Uninhabitable Earth.

Prof Jane Stout

My expertise lies in ecology and biodiversity, connecting human and natural ecosystems through urban and agricultural land management and natural capital research. An internationally recognised expert in pollinator ecology and biodiversity advocacy, I co-founded the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan and Natural Capital Ireland, and serve as President of the Royal Entomological Society.

Prof Iris Moeller

Professor of Geography (1966)

I am a geomorphologist / geographer working on achieving fair, equitable, and just climate adaptation and mitigation through a better understanding of how coastal systems function and humans interact with them over daily to decadal time scales.
