2024 PhD, Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER)
Erica Bower earned her PhD in 2024 in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER). She is broadly interested in how climate change interacts with people's mobility decisions, and how policy might better protect people's rights on the move. Her dissertation takes a global comparative approach to study the outcomes and governance of a unique type of collective climate adaptation: the planned relocation of entire communities to new sites out of harm's way.
Erica Bower and colleagues discuss how events like drought and wildfire influence socioeconomic factors and might drive people to cross international border or relocate domestically.
