Dr. Burrows studies the impacts of climate change on human health and well-being. She employs mixed methods approaches, combining qualitative interviews and big data analyses to explore how climate and weather-related extremes affect individual and community health. With interdisciplinary training in environmental epidemiology (PhD, Yale University School of the Environment) and social-behavioral sciences (MPH, Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health), she investigates global health issues from a unique perspective that incorporates sociocultural determinants of health alongside environmental exposures. As a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University, Dr. Burrows evaluated the short- and long-term impacts of hurricanes on a range of health outcomes, including cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations and disability. Her current research focuses on the mental health impacts of extreme temperatures.
