Books:
- Samuel Jardine and Tim Clack, 'Geopolitics and Security in the Changing Antarctic', in Climate Change, Conflict, and (In)Security: Hot War, Tim Clack, Ziya Meral, and Louise Selisny (eds), Routledge, 1 December 2023
- Critics' Reviews;
- 'The book completes its mission to show that climate change is a driver of conflict, an obstacle to conflict resolution, and a creator of strategic shocks, tensions, opportunities, and risks… A must read for anyone interested in defence, security, or climate change.' (General Tom Middendorp, International Military Council on Climate & Security (former Chief of Defence of The Netherlands))
- 'Climate change is the single most significant long-term defence issue. Its consequences will shape threats, challenge governments (as competition for food, water increases) undermine military capabilities, and drive economic instability. The book offers insights that are at once timely, important, and alarming.' (Tobias Ellwood MP, Chair of the UK House of Commons Defence Committee)
- 'The climate crisis is the top geopolitical issue of our time. From the High North to equatorial Africa, global heating will be the major driver of the conflicts and threats we will face in the coming decades. This vital and timely book challenges us to marshal a much better response, urgently.' (Tom Fletcher, University of Oxford (former UK Foreign Policy Adviser to 3 UK Prime Ministers))
- 'There are uncomfortable gaps between knowledge, practice, and reality when it comes to how climate change is shaping human and hard security. This book is an important contribution to closing that gap, showing how to stop worrying about securitizing climate and start climatizing security.' (Hon. Sharon E. Burke, Ecospherics (Former US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy))
- 'Climate Change and Insecurity is a clarion call for the military and security sectors. This exceptional collection shows how climate change and its impacts are reshaping the world and how nations must prepare for what is to come.' (Captain Dr Andrea Cameron, US Naval War College)
- 'The following chapter on Antarctic security is the perfect companion, and a fantastic overview. Direct physical impacts of climate change to the South Pole are discussed, the concept of suppositional imperialism is introduced and used as a lens of analysis, Cold War military competition in the region is reviewed, base racing, sovereignty, and the weaponisation of conservation are all considered. There is also insight regarding Antarctic Treaty considerations and disputes, and discussion regarding the trojan horse that may be tourism—or “non-scientific occupation,” as the book describes.' (Small Wars Journal)

- Project Lead for Phase 3 (2024) and Research Fellow for Phase 1 (2022) of the 'Global Registry of Lunar Objects and Activities', Open Lunar Foundation, 1 January 2022 - Ongoing
- Phase 3- Between July and December 2024, Open Lunar, led by affiliate and fellow Samuel Jardine embarked on a major stakeholder engagement campaign to gather feedback on its Global Registry of Lunar Objects and Activities concept.
- Engaged 155 stakeholders worldwide, from government, commercial, space agency, science, academia, and civil society sectors, with an outreach-to-engagement conversion rate at 85.16%. Stakeholders from all six inhabited continents and from every segment of the space sector provided invaluable feedback.
- Organised and hosted major events, including a workshop on the sidelines of the IAC 2024 attended by over 40 major space stakeholders.
- Produced a comprehensive and exhaustive internal report which the Open Lunar Board and a panel of experts evaluated and signed off as warranting the initaiton of investment and funding for Phase 4 of the Registry in 2025.
- Phase 1- In 2022 Research Fellows Samuel Jardine and Rachel Williams produced an extensive White Paper produced an in-depth study assessing a Lunar Registry’s needs, impact, and risks.
- Programme Director for- 'Geopolitics on the Periphery', London Politica, 10th October 2022 - 15th October 2023.
- I have established this research programme to uncover the emerging and overlooked geopolitical arenas of space, the seabed, Arctic, and the Antarctic and integrate them into the wider global context of political and geopolitical risk. These four arenas share significant geopolitical similarities despite their obvious physical differences; most particularly, each steadily offers a new frontier for potentially lucrative economic opportunities while increasingly facing the full spectrum of great and small power competition.
- My team and I provide actionable insight and analysis regarding the emerging trends, issues, opportunities and risks to be found in these frontiers from a geopolitical, commercial, security and policy perspective. We hope to provide the thought leadership for stakeholders to best understand, navigate, and successfully operate within these rapidly changing spheres.
- Programme Director for- 'Ukraine Watch', London Politica, 25 February 2022 - 30th July 2022,
- As part of London Politica's
efforts
to provide pro-bono support to humanitarian NGO's, charities, organizations, and those affected by Putin's invasion of Ukraine, particularly in the face of a potential deterioration of trusted information flowing out of the warzone, I and my project co-lead, Ollie Gordon-Brown (A Senior Analyst at London Politica) have set up, provided analysis for, organized, and co-ordinated, a publicly-accessible rolling feed of analysis and updates from teams of London Politica's Research Analysts who are;
- Providing rolling updates on the situation in Ukraine
- Carrying out analysis of key issues and trends within Ukraine and internationally from humanitarian, security, economic, political, geopolitical, and defence perspectives.
- Sifting through the mass of information, intelligence, propaganda, and fake news to bring to the fore trusted sources of information.
- Providing a pillar of macro analysis for London Politica's other analytical teams who are working directly on client projects with organisations involved in providing humanitarian support to Ukraine.
- Outcomes- This project directly helped support through analytical services 14 Ukraine-related charities (some of which are now regular clients) operating on the ground. We were also recommended as a "go-to" and trusted source of information by NGO's and Charities such as HumanAid. The project continues under an expanded remit with 40 Analysts and 4 Research Directors working to provide both local and global coverage of the Ukraine War and its impact.
