   stakeholders to develop, test, and deploy environmental justice mapping
   tools that identify and visualize disproportionate climate and pollution
   burdens on vulnerable communities.
   - Contribute to team-based projects tracking the health effects of
   climate change, including analysis of how shifting climate patterns affect
   air quality, heat exposure, and disease burden across populations.
   - Prepare tables, figures, and written drafts for presentations and
   publications.
   - Prepare and conduct presentations to stakeholders on research methods
   and findings
   - Participate actively in GWU and cross-institutional project team
