Kristin Raub is a Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.'s (CUAHSI) resilience research scientist, where she helps to connect water science to community decision-making. Raub considers herself an interdisciplinary scientist who specializes in social science methodologies. Raub's background includes degrees in marine science (BA), chemical oceanography (MS), environmental economics (MS), and natural resources (PhD) from Boston University, the University of Connecticut, and the University of Vermont, respectively. Additionally, Raub holds a graduate certificate in complex systems from the University of Vermont and was a 2016 Knauss Marine Policy Fellow. This unique background has shaped Raub's present research, which is motivated by the fact that climate change is caused by and is impacting human communities. Therefore, it is important to engage with the frontline communities who are key to "doing something" about it. Presently, Raub works to connect complex science, data, and information with those who need it, often in the context of resilience and planning, by leveraging social science and community-engaged methodologies. Examples of her current work include investigating the national water model's applicability to community resilience planning and investigating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's earth observation data's potential to address environmental justice in a community in Puerto Rico. Each of these studies are in partnership with the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University where Raub holds a joint appointment.
