She has been made a Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society where she carries out a great deal of research for her books.
Judith Mansell, Education Officer RGS - IBG, said, "The collections of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) were used to research some of the details in the book Raging Rivers. It is stimulating to see them used in such an inspirational way. Geography has never been such fun before."
