Jennifer Niemann-Morris is a Research Analyst at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, where she conducts research on adaptive responses to climate change risks.
Niemann Morris explores the suite of climate adaptation response options and their interactions with society. Her work focuses primarily on climate migration and managed retreat in relation to flood risks (often through voluntary property buyouts), both concentrated in the South Florida region and nation-wide. To build evidence-based and decision-relevant knowledge, she often utilizes a mixed-methods, holistic approach to assessing the impacts of adaptation options have on a community. Going beyond just risk-reduction, Niemann-Morris’ research spans the areas of economics, sociocultural experiences, governance, and environmental impacts.
Prior to joining UM, Niemann-Morris obtained a MS in Biostatistics from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Here, as a Graduate Research Assistant, she conducted statistical analyses of clinical trials, including extensive work on a trial for a smoking cessation drug. She also holds a BS in Statistics and a BBA in Economics from Marshall University.
Niemann-Morris resides in eastern Kentucky, where she enjoys hiking and rock climbing in the surrounding Appalachain Mountains.
