I am a climate scientist who focuses on the development and dissemination of science risk information that forms the foundation of resilience strategies in urban areas. To support these efforts, I use observed data and models to identify the potential impacts of extreme weather events – such as heat waves and floods – on human systems and the built environment. Working together with stakeholders, I work to ensure that the science is effectively communicated to enable best practices in local adaptation planning. Research Interests: Dynamics of climate variability and climate change; Quantitative models of climate; Climate downscaling methods; Climate change impacts and adaptation; Climate change indicators and monitoring systems; Effective communication of scientific informationProfessional Skills: Coordination of large research project teams; Facilitation of project communications plans and outreach; Preparation and analysis of project budgets; Management of report writing and project deliverables; Interaction with team members and stakeholdersAdditional experience in the field of meteorology. Trained for both operational (public and private sector) and broadcast work.
