Speaker Bio:
Rebecca’s work at the NC Climate Office centers around delivering climate extension and education to a variety of audiences and working with various sectors in the state to provide climate data and information to support decision making. Recently, she has worked closely with NC State Extension and N.C. Cooperative Extension to deliver climate-focused workshops, and to develop decision support tools that incorporate climate data and expertise to inform planting and management decisions for agricultural crops. Previously, she was an active member of the NC Drought Management Advisory Council, helping to monitor drought conditions across the state, and also worked on several research projects to explore and analyze new drought indicators and indices and systematically develop and evaluate new informational resources to communicate current drought information. She holds BS degrees in Meteorology and Applied Mathematics, an MS in Atmospheric Science, and is currently working toward her Ph.D. in Science Education, all from NC State University.
