His research is at the interface of (eco-) political theory and environmental sociology. He has published widely on Green Parties, social movements and issues of ecological modernization. His most recent work explores the political potential of the eco-movement and current developments in protest politics in a wider sense. Mark R.C. Doughty took his first degree in biological sciences at Pembroke College, Oxford University, before taking a Masters at Bath University. His thesis was entitled ‘Use of the Ecological Footprint Theory as a Sustainability Indicator’ and used Bath as case study for examining the application of Ecological Footprint thinking. Mark has been a professional ecologist and environmental consultant for over 5 years and has worked on numerous Environmental Impact Assessments and other environmental appraisal work. His current position as Biodiversity and Heritage Advisor with Thames Water involves provision of technical and legal input to the company’s extensive capital expendi- ture programme as well as assisting in the development of their policy with regards to sustainable water resources, ISO14001 and other environmental policy. He is also responsible for implementing a large wetland habitat enhancement scheme.

He is the author or co-author of many research papers, and was the joint recipient of the Dufton silver medal for one of these pub- lications.

He sits on the edi- torial boards of three archival journals that publish material in the area of energy and the environment. In recent years, he has undertaken international consultancy assignments for government ministries and industrial R&D organizations in Sri Lanka and Taiwan on sustainable energy technologies and energy efficiency in the transport sector respec- tively.
