Research interests/biography

Garron works with a broad spectrum of scientists, community members, agency partners and industry representatives. She integrates actionable, geospatial, and model-based science information into decision-making about climate change adaptation planning and response in Arctic and sub-Arctic communities. Often this means she uses drones and satellites in local decision-making.
