Bio: Pat served as the Climate Change Adaptation and Active Transportation Fellow. Pat’s fellowship had two primary focuses. The first was supporting the NPS Transportation Planning Program on developing climate change adaptation and resilience strategies in Washington State, especially at North Cascades National Park. The second was working with the NPS Alternative Transportation Program to pilot a data-driven trail condition assessment methodology for major NPS multi-use trails, primarily in the Washington, DC area. Pat is primarily interested in understanding the impacts of climate change on infrastructure and natural resources, and strategies for adapting to climatic and environmental changes.
