My work involves the design, analysis, and visualization of information about the environment. I am particularly interested in environmental communication, media representations of climate change, cognitive and affective responses to environmental information, algorithmic text analysis and visualization, evaluation of how people learn in formal and informal contexts, and data management practices. I earned a PhD in Geography with an Emphasis in Cognitive Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara and am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar on the DataONE project at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.
