Caroline studies how communities and individuals respond to climate change. With a focus on climate adaptation, she seeks to explore how people understand specific climate hazards and what factors promote health-protective behavior during climate events, particularly wildfires. In the past, she has worked on mixed-methods research projects covering a range of topics including ocean conservation behavior, land conservation, air quality, and environmental justice. Before coming to SEAS, Caroline worked as a community organizer and program manager at Climate Resilient Communities, a community-based organization in the San Francisco Bay Area working with frontline residents experiencing wildfire smoke, extreme heat, and flooding.
