Welcome!

My name is Kelsea, and I am passionate about research to understand complex socio-environmental systems for equitable climate adaptation. 
Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. It is poised to disrupt all aspects of society, with serious implications for justice, equity, and sustainable development. My research aims to understand how climate change interacts with human societies, how people may adapt to climate impacts, and how climate adaptation measures can be designed and implemented in a just and equitable way. My research is highly interdisciplinary, and I strive to connect methods, disciplines, and researchers from across geographies and fields. To do so, I collaborate with social and environmental scientists and use a variety of data-driven methods, including machine learning and agent-based modeling.
