This team-based, transdisciplinary social science research seeks to increase the usability and use of evidence in climate adaptation and mitigation, environmental management, community resilience, and interdependent infrastructure decisions. Over the past decade, this work has led to more than 60 publications; more than $20 million in grants awarded; more than 180 invited talks; multiple invited White House events integrating her research findings; and opportunities to translate scientific findings as policy memos or decision support prototypes to federal agencies and the highest levels of government.

He has written extensively on topics ranging from the connection of mantle convective flow to the geological record, the rotational stability of the Earth and other terrestrial planets, ice age dynamics, and the geodetic and geophysical signatures of ice sheet melting in our progressively warming world. Sea level change has served as the major, unifying theme of these studies, with a particular emphasis on critical events in ice age climate and on the sea level fingerprints of modern polar ice sheet collapse.
