If you're interested in working with me, send an email with your resume or CV and a statement of interest. Contact me early so we can work on project ideas and apply for funding. 

I am a faculty member in Geography and Spatial Sciences, Disaster Science and Management, and Urban Affairs and Public Policy and an affiliate of the School of Marine Science & Policy. I mainly advise students in these programs. I'm open to working with students in other departments subject to the requirements of the home department. 

The Disaster Research Center also welcomes postdoctoral and visiting scholars. Please email me if you are interested. 

For PhD students, please look at this advising document to get a sense of my approach to advising and my expectations.  Also check out the advising resources and opportunities below. 

For Master's students, please read this advising document. Note: if you would like me to be your research advisor, I require that you contact me no later than the spring of your first year (or one year before your anticipated graduation).

Undergraduates, email me and tell me about your research interests and experience. I commonly supervise student projects through UDRAW and the Summer Fellows programs. Biden School majors: consider applying for the Lynda D. Woolard Scholarship.
