Environmental Justice

The Fletcher lab aims to advance water resources management to promote resilient and equitable responses to a changing world. Our research integrates methods from hydrology, policy analysis, and data science to inform decision-making around critical environmental challenges. Our approach centers partnership for real-world impact.

My research group studies disasters to reduce the risk they pose. We approach this challenge by developing customized mathematical models that can be tested against observational data and are informed by community needs through a scientific co-production process. We intentionally work on extremes across different natural systems rather than focusing on one specific natural system to identify both commonalities in the physical processes driving extremes and in the best practices for mitigating risk at the community level.
