Kathryn Fiorella

I am an environmental scientist and epidemiologist, and my research aims to understand the interactions among environmental change and livelihood, food, and nutrition security. My work is focused on global fisheries and the households that are reliant on the environment to access food and income. I use interdisciplinary methods and my work aims to foster a deeper understanding of how ecological and social systems interact, the ways communities and households adapt to and mitigate environmental change, and the links between human well being and ecological sustainability.

I hold a PhD in environmental science, policy & management and a Master of Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley, and an AB in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton University.
