Elisabeth A. Gilmore, PhD

I am an Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering and Public Policy and founder of the Climate Resilient Societies through Equitable Transformations (ReSET) Lab at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.

My focus lies in bridging between engineering and social sciences, economic sciences, policy and decision analysis, and other diverse forms of knowledge to improve entry points for equitable climate adaptation and mitigation.
