My interests lie in climate/weather-related disaster risk management. I am currently researching infrastructure network vulnerability to climate threats with an emphasis on organizational scales and climate adaptation governance. My goal is to address misalignments between landscape-scale hazard processes, network-scale exposure of stakeholders and infrastructure, and climate adaptation policies. California's transportation energy sector and the U.S. national airspace system are the infrastructures systems I apply my research to. I am enthusiastic about mixed methods and the inherent interdisciplinarity of environmental problems. Risk management and governance, environmental modelling, stakeholder assessment, geospatial analysis, and network science are the main tools I focus on to tackle these problems. |

I study the interactions of water, sediment, plants and climate in montane meadow ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada in California. In my research, I hope to inform restoration and planning by revealing underlying processes and mechanisms operating across regional, watershed, and meadow scales. Specializations: geomorphology, hydrology, plant ecology, remote sensing and terrain analysis. |

Rivers; landscape processes; quantitative analysis to estimate sediment loads and sediment yields; field measuring; landscape interpretation; data interpretation to inform reality; geographic information; acknowledgment of uncertainties; numerical analysis; fluid mechanics; energy; metrics for decision making in landscape planning; history of fluvial geomorphology. |
Janet Torres![]() |

Janet’s primary research interests are climate change adaptation, multi-level governance, and sustainable development. She believes research in these topics requires an integrative and transdisciplinary strategy and uses a mixed methods approach to her own research, integrating physical geography, policy analysis, and ethnography within a relevant historical context. Her current research is on the development trajectory of the Republic of Cuba and the role of culture in improving the adaptive capacity of communities. |
