Research and work with CISA
Dow is a social environmental geographer whose work focuses on the impact of climate change and climate adaptations. At CISA, she works to collaborate with local stakeholders to inform decision making about climate change in the Carolinas.[3] Past projects include developing a Dynamic Drought Index Tool, a web-based tool to determine and map drought indices and conducting studies to support the Third National Climate Assessment.[4] [5] [6] Through CISA she has also worked to host Carolinas Climate Resilience Conferences which bring together hundreds of community members to support climate resilience efforts.[7] [8]
