I am a Senior Research Scientist & Lecturer at the Yale School of the Environment and the Executive Director of the Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions. My work focuses on climate change, extreme weather, public opinion, and data-driven communication.
I lead research and the development of interactive data visualization tools that help translate climate science into actionable insights.
- Paleofire & Climate History 🌿🔥
Investigating past wildfires and their relationship to climate change using charcoal records and paleoclimatic data. - Understanding Risk Perception 🌎🔍
Studying how people perceive climate risks and how to communicate uncertainty effectively for better decision-making.
Some of my projects include:
-
Yale Climate Opinion Maps (U.S.)
Mapping public beliefs, risk perceptions, and climate policy support across the United States. -
Six Americas Maps (SASSY)
A tool for exploring climate attitudes and engagement levels across different audience segments. -
Climate Opinions in India Maps
A comprehensive look at Indian public opinions on climate change and energy policies. -
Climate Opinions in Ireland Maps
