I am interested in how the impulse to commemorate can play out within the disciplines of Landscape Architecture and Urban Design. Particularly when addressing some movement on a vast scale, I am curious how collective memory is crystalized into institutional goals and structures, and also how this scenario might catalyze design decisions at a metropolitan scale. |

My interests lie in weather-related disaster risk management. I have experience with flooding, landslide and more recently with wildfire hazards. I am currently researching critical infrastructure network vulnerability to climate threats with an emphasis on organizational scales. 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 sets I apply my research to. Risk management, environmental modelling, stakeholder outreach, geospatial analysis, and network science are the main tools I have been focusing 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. |

I work on rivers. I, particularly, study the sediment connectivity in river networks at the watershed scale. Then my studies involve accounting for sediment yields from upstream areas of water infrastructure, strategic allocation of water infrastructure, and reservoir sediment management. I conceptualize these applied research topics in the analysis of trade-offs between exploitation of hydropower potential and conservation of natural resources. I am currently working in the Amazon Basin. The need to find sustainable energy supply solutions has also led me to undertake on the research field of renewable energy planning at the regional scale. |

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. |
