Short presentation
Sara is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre of Natural Hazards and Disaster Science (CNDS) and the Swedish Center for Impacts of Climate Extremes (climes). She analyses data on past disasters across the world by linking reported impacts to information about the hazard and exposed population. She also examines how societal structures influence mortality, health, and recovery in severe disasters, primarily through quantitative international large n analysis.
