This position is in support of multiple research projects that are investigating the barriers, opportunities, existing and historic actions, decision drivers, and necessary support systems for community-driven solutions to climate adaptation (e.g., responding to challenges such as rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, storms, flooding, erosion, wind damage, drought, wildfires, etc.) and mitigation (e.g., renewable energy generation, energy efficiency, batteries and other energy storage, microgrids, beneficial electrification, and/or conservation in the electricity, heating, and/or transportation sectors, etc.).
A major objective of these projects is to help build capacity in communities and in academia for community-engaged, solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary research and practice.
