Amy's interests lie in the interface between the human and physical geographies of risk on volcanoes. She has applied both social and physical scientific methods to try to understand the complexities of societal interaction with science under uncertainty in this context, thinking about how knowledges of different kinds are produced, travel and are encountered. She collaborates worldwide with researchers on active volcanoes in Chile, Argentina, Iceland, Mexico, Japan, DPRK, China, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the USA and others. Amy also works in other precarious environments, including those prone to landslides and earthquakes. Current projects are based in India (landslides), four urban contexts prone to multiple disaster risks (Quito, Istanbul, Nairobi and Kathmandu) and in volcano-related multihazard environments in Latin America and East Africa.
