Irrigation Canal in San Joaquin Valley, California
Climate & Society
I am a human-environment geographer who studies the different ways people know and experience climate. I use qualitative research methods to understand the impacts of climate hazards such as drought, aridity, and wildfires on communities. My research also seeks to understand ways in which to center equity and justice in climate services. As a research scientist with CLIMAS, I work with interdisciplinary teams on climate vulnerability, adaptation, and resilience in the Southwest. I also have experience working for humanitarian mine action programmes in Sudan, South Sudan, Lebanon, and Libya.
