I am a geographer interested in hazards, risk, and society-environment interactions. My research program is focused on understanding the human and environmental factors that interact to produce risk, why risk is uneven across people and places, and how to equitably reduce risk and adapt to climate change impacts. My critical research approach is informed by the hazards, political ecology, global environmental change, and environmental history literatures. Research group members and I use multiple/mixed methods to investigate across scales and across actors, primarily in communities exposed to flood hazards. Earlier training includes doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Western Ontario and University of British Columbia, respectively, and research positions at the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction.
