Julia Davis is a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia, where she is studying environmental engineering with a focus on policy- and decision-making under climate uncertainty. Her current research explores the impacts of climate-related events and infrastructure on human populations, specifically through analyzing demographic makeup near carbon dioxide pipelines and investigating decision-making thresholds for relocation due to climate stressors like flooding. Julia has previously earned her B.S. in civil and environmental engineering and her master’s degree in public policy at UVA, allowing her to bring an interdisciplinary approach to studying human-environment systems. Through systems-based research, Julia aims to inform sustainable policies that address the complex challenges of climate change.
