Dr. Schmeltz’s current research/work centers on community risk perception of climate hazards, including wildfire smoke and extreme heat, using observational data and community surveys to better understand how underrepresented populations experience climate change in their communities. He works with a wide range of stakeholders designing inclusive approaches to research that effectively translate and communicates scientific knowledge to address complex environmental health problems.
