Aftermaths: Community Responses to Climate Disaster

Project

UPR Student, Bryan Ramos Romero, on COVID's Impact on Environmental Issues

Students working with Dr. Ricia Anne Chansky on the “Mi María” project at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez shift their research to explore connections between the climate emergency and the public health crisis of COVID-19 in marginalized and underserved communities that are disproportionately impacted by both.
