My interests began in GIScience when I saw the broad applications and unique communication
abilities of geovisualization. I am passionate about open science and favor open source
technology.
I believe open science goes in tandem with community science and making
science
as
a discpline and science communciation accessible.
My interests in climate change are related to my personal philosphy of love and respect of
nature, animals and other people. Climate change is already impacts peoples across the
globe, the impacts disproportiantely impact marginalized communities. Using geovisualization
to understand climate change impacts and adaptation impacts I hope to highlight geographic
areas that need investment to face these impacts. Additionally, I seek to make this
knowledge easily accessible through an web application focused on user experience.
I believe political ecology, critical physcial geography, and more than human geographies
can be employed as frameworks for understanding climate change while framing environmental
justice.
Research Interests
My desired long-term professional goals are to create data-driven geographic models that inform policymakers and stakeholders to mitigate climate-change related adversity. I am interested in the social threats of climate change which disproportionately affects marginalized people. Additionally, I want to use visualize the impacts of different climate change adaptation techniquese. GIScience technology, empowered with geovisualization and AI, is invaluable to help people adapt as the Earth’s climate changes.
