Jennifer Marlon and Abigail Cheskis: YPCCC Climate Opinion Resources for Educators
Bios: Jennifer Marlon, PhD, is a Research Scientist at Yale's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC). Her research focuses on the social and physical dimensions of climate change, particularly as they relate to climate change communication. On the social side, she uses surveys, experiments, and modeling to study how people perceive and respond to hurricanes, heat waves, drought, and other climate-related changes. On the physical side, she uses sediment records to reconstruct and understand past environments, including changes in wildfires, vegetation, and climate. Jennifer holds a PhD and MS in Geography from the University of Oregon, and a BS from the University at Albany, State University of New York. She has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles in journals such as Nature Climate Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Political Science Research Methods, Journal of Risk Research, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, and Nature Geoscience.
Abigail Cheskis is the Research Associate for Strategy at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. She spends most of her time working with partner organizations to help them apply YPCCC's findings in their own work. She also works on digital strategy and Climate Notes at the Program. She previously worked for YPCCC as a social media manager and content producer.
