Sangwon Lee Email & Phone Number

I am a researcher exploring critical gaps in climate change research, specifically in public health, disaster preparedness, and environmental justice. I focus on community-level interventions to mitigate the impact of climate-related hazards, particularly extreme heat and tornadoes. At the forefront of the field, my work utilizes cutting-edge techniques such as mixed methods, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and field investigations to examine health disparities and spatial inequalities due to climate change and protective factors affecting underserved populations in a disaster context. I emphasize place-based, community-engaged approaches aiming to illuminate the socioeconomic and contextual complexities underlying social and environmental challenges and seek to amplify residents' voices by incorporating community-based data collection.
