• Environmental Policy
• Flood Risk Management
• Climate Change Adaptation
• +3 more

Professor Eoin O'Neill is a distinguished academic at University College Dublin, affiliated with the College of Engineering and Architecture and the School of Architecture, Planning & Environmental Policy. His research focuses on environmental policy, flood risk management, climate change adaptation, water contamination, and risk perception. Professor O'Neill has conducted extensive research on how people perceive and respond to environmental risks, particularly flood risks and groundwater contamination. His work has contributed significantly to environmental policy development at both national and European levels. His early work with the UK's Environment Agency on flood risk management in the Thames Region sparked his enduring interest in environmental policy matters related to flooding. One of his notable research projects evaluated people's sense of risk "before" and "after" the flood relief scheme for the River Dargle in Bray, Co Wicklow. This research found that people living near rivers often misjudge their proximity to flood risk zones, which affects their preparedness for flooding events. Professor O'Neill's subsequent research explored householders' perceptions of risks associated with domestic wastewater treatment systems and the impact of flooding on drinking water supplies in rural Ireland. Research on flood risk perception and spatial awareness Studies on groundwater contamination and well-water safety Analysis of household behaviors regarding wastewater treatment systems Development of risk communication guidelines adopted by the EPA His research has been instrumental in developing risk communication guidelines now used by the Environmental Protection Agency in Ireland. It has also been cited in key policy documents including the National Climate Adaptation Framework, IPCC reports, and international studies by organizations such as the US Geological Survey and the UK Climate Change Committee. Professor O'Neill's work demonstrates a strong commitment to translating research into practical policy solutions that address the growing challenges of climate change, particularly in relation to water security and flood risk management.
