Climate change related weather events increasingly threaten our homes and surrounding environments, placing significant stress on human health and well-being. My research examines the impact of adverse weather events—particularly extreme heat and air pollution—on human health and learning. I also investigate how environmental systems in urban schools and neighborhoods can mitigate these exposures, thereby enhancing health and learning across the life course. Through utilizing spatial modeling and land surveying methods, I identify high-priority areas for intervention and develop data-driven strategies for sustainable site and landscape development. My work aims to provide targeted policy recommendations for stakeholders in public health, urban planning, and education to support the creation of climate-adaptive learning environments.
