John Watt is an Associate Professor in Risk Management and his research has largely focussed on the science that underpins risk assessment of pollutant effects on human health and the environment. More recent work has considered the way that decisions are made and the role of stakeholder values. As co-director of the Centre for Decision Analysis and Risk Management he is interested in multi-disciplinary approaches to the management of risk in a range of sectors and he has been working increasingly on projects focused on the development and application of decision-making and risk management strategies in public health, occupational safety and the environment (natural and built). Such research takes a multidisciplinary approach, which encompasses the natural scientific, socio-economic, psychological, legal, philosophical, ethical, and communication dimensions of risk management. He has also undertaken research into risk education and has sought to apply the results to academic strategy and curriculum development.

The majority of John's early research was concerned with the detection, measurement and significance of particulate matter. This resulted in publications in multiple fields - on the sources of lead and resultant exposure of young children, on pollution of surface waters by power station fly-ash, on soiling and corrosion of built cultural heritage and also on policy implications of the above (including cost/benefit analysis and risk assessment).
His current research interests have widened to include other aspects of risk management, including research into the ways that people make decisions about risks in firefighting, road safety and health care. He is interested in developments in approaches to risk governance in a number of fields including health, safety and the environment.
