Chen Chen was funded to be a 2018 Hixon Research Fellow for her future study on air pollution related health impact under climate change by the Hixon Center for Urban Ecology. She plans to estimate changes in the health impacts of fine particulate matter and ozone under different climate change scenarios in major urban U.S. centers. Her study aims to explore potential spatial heterogeneity, and identify critical regions for climate change mitigation and adaptation. This work will be beneficial to policy makers designing climate change policies, but also to communities interested in local climate adaptation measures and air quality.
