Warning & risk systems

I study public safety infrastructures, end-to-end, from weather and climate prediction to communication. My goal is to find ways to help improve policies and practices and to illuminate new relationships between experts and publics.

Vulnerability & Risk

I theorize different ways that vulnerability and risk emerge in disaster contexts. I examine how different forms of harm are conceptualized during weather and climate extremes. My goals is to work in convergent research contexts to address harm and make visible possible interventions.

Disaster Dynamics

I map how different groups of people experience and plan for disasters. Importantly, I focus on compounded risks, unintended consequences, and overlaps and displacements in time and space. My goal is to create policy relevant and co-produced science.
