Positions:
- Assistant Professor, Marine Sciences, Texas A&M University at Galveston
- Assistant Professor, Geography, College of Geosciences
overview
I am interested in the cartographic communication of sea level rise and other climate hazards. My work draws on research from GIScience, human-environment geography and psychology to consider how map interaction mediates risk perceptions for climate change and related hazards.
