Ilan Kelman Ilan Kelman's work focuses on applied research related to vulnerability, risk, and disasters in the context of sustainability and development. That has covered a wide range of themes, including floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, disaster deaths, transitional settlement and shelter, safe schools, and education processes. Ilan was an ASP postdoctoral fellow in CCB 2006-2007. He continues his work with CCB in his current position as an Adjunct Scientist.

As a researcher at CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research - Oslo) in Norway, he is focusing on island vulnerability and disaster diplomacy. Island vulnerability explores the processes which create, maintain, and could be used to reduce the vulnerability of isolated locations. Disaster diplomacy investigates how disaster-related activities do and do not reduce enmity and foster peace. Both areas include climate change, international environmental treaties, and sustainable livelihoods.
