Media

Recording an episode of the America Adapts podcast with Doug Parsons, the host.

I am frequently interviewed for television, radio, podcasts, and print media. My expertise and research have been featured in outlets such as NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, BBC, TIME Magazine, and The Hill.

Journalists and producers are welcome to reach out to me for commentary on:

Extreme heat: How cities, states, and the federal government in the United States, and communities across the world are being impacted by extreme heat and are advancing heat resilience efforts through heat planning and governance.
Climate change: Climate adaptation and resilience, multi-hazard mitigation planning, climate governance, and the state of climate change science and policy in the United States.
Climate futures: The climate crisis and urgent need for climate action to protect the habitability of our planet for ourselves today and for future generations.

Selected media appearances are below, and a full list is available on my CV.
