Jabari Jones

Assistant Professor of Earth and Oceanographic Science

My research is centered around the complex role of humans as a geologic agent on Earth. I am interested in how rivers change through time, ranging from individual flood events to centuries. At ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾, I’m excited to develop local projects in New England focused on stream restoration, dam removal, and the effects of climate change and sea level rise. I am also interested in environmental justice – how environmental benefits and harms are distributed among different groups of people, and what processes lead to that distribution. I am currently investigating this issue through a project examining the geographic siting of stream restoration projects.

Finally, I am interested in how institutions promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. I address this in my teaching, in research about student activism, and by engaging in community science – where people outside of traditional scientific institutions (government, universities) are empowered to ask and answer scientific questions.

I encourage students who are interested in any of the above to get in touch with me.
