Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAssessing the Health Impacts of the Major California Outages between 2017-2019
This research aims to investigate the relationship between major power outages and hospitalizations in California. Using outage data between 2017 and 2019, we are working to identify the hospitalization rates following outages. Additionally, we are evaluating how severe weather-caused outages can further impact hospitalizations. -
Larissa Verona
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2026
BioI’m a PhD student in Earth System Science, advised by Prof. Alyson Hoyt. I’m interested in understanding the carbon dynamics of tropical wetlands by studying soils, isotopes, and gases, as well as landscape patterns through remote sensing. I earned a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in plant biology from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil, where I gained experience in functional and restoration ecology. More broadly, I’m curious about the functioning and conservation of tropical ecosystems, including non-forest ones such as savannas and grasslands.
