Current Research

My research focuses on human vulnerability to environmental change (including climate change). The focus is primarily on indigenous peoples (current work on Inuit in the Canadian High Arctic and the Canadian western Arctic). Research examines human adaptive capacity, including current/past adaptation measures and past/current/future environmental/climate exposures to 1) assess current/future vulnerability; 2) integrate indigenous knowledge into science and policymaking.
