SEES Fellows: Developing new models to understand human vulnerability to climate-related hazards at multiple scales

在NSF科学，工程和教育可持续发展研究员（SEES研究员计划）的这个奖项中，来自纽约市立大学的Bryan Jones博士，巴鲁克学院将调查空间人口变化的多尺度驱动因素，开发新的理论和框架来准确描述人口变化，并将其与气候变化数据相结合，以估计未来气候相关危害的敏感性/暴露。 该奖项得到了以下机构的支持：地质科学局和社会、行为和经济科学局。这项工作中提出的研究的目的是建立一个更好的知识库，为人口空间分布预测提供信息，为城市规划者、经济学家、和政府来评估对气候的脆弱性-琼斯博士将与纽约市立大学人口研究所的黛博拉·巴尔克教授和国家大气研究中心的布赖恩·奥尼尔博士合作。 Jones博士还将与斯托尼布鲁克的纽约州立大学经济系的Mark蒙哥马利教授合作。（SEES研究员）计划，其目标是帮助实现所需的发现，为导致环境，能源和社会可持续性，同时创造必要的劳动力来应对这些挑战。在SEES研究员的支持下，该项目将使一个有前途的早期职业研究人员能够在与可持续发展相关的独立研究生涯中建立自己的地位。

In this Award from the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows Program) Dr. Bryan Jones from the City University of New York, Baruch College will investigate the multi-scale drivers of spatial population change, developing new theories and frameworks to accurately describe population change, and combine this with data on climate change to create estimates of sensitivity/exposure to future climate-related hazards. This award has support from: the Directorate for Geological Sciences and the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.The aim of studies like that proposed in this work is to develop a better knowledge base to inform projections of the spatial distribution of population, providing additional tools for urban planners, economists, and governments to estimate the vulnerabilities to climate-related hazards.Dr. Jones will be working with collaborators Prof. Deborah Balk of the CUNY Institute for Demographic Research and Dr. Brian O'Neill of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Dr. Jones will also work with Prof. Mark Montgomery of the Department of Economics at the State University of New York, Stony Brook.This project is supported under the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows) program, with the goal of helping to enable discoveries needed to inform actions that lead to environmental, energy and societal sustainability while creating the necessary workforce to address these challenges. With SEES Fellows support, this project will enable a promising early career researcher to establish themselves in an independent research career related to sustainability.
