Our research is student-centered, multidisciplinary, and follows the principles of CBPAR (Community-based participatory action research) with the aim of furthering collaboration and community-academic partnerships for water and climate justice.

Student Researchers

Undergraduate and graduate student researchers have been key contributors to every water and climate justice project in our lab. They have come from various fields including environmental studies, environmental science, civil engineering, art, web design, computer science, communication, and more. Among many other accomplishments, students have collected water samples and measured water flow, prepared workshops for communities, analyzed water, climate, and community data, mapped water and pollution sources, developed an app design, been co-authors on papers, and presented at conferences. They have worked as teams and gone on to graduate and professional opportunities. Please see their profiles here.
