Yale Program on Climate Change Communication

Karine’s research focuses on applying behavioral science to design interventions targeting group-specific barriers and motivators. She has developed a tool to measure psychological barriers to pro-environmental behavior, tested interventions to help individuals reach their dietary goals, and investigated shifts in climate change risk perception as it relates to experience with forest fires. As a Postdoctoral Associate, she contributes to experimental research design, implementation, and data analysis. Karine received a PhD and a MA in Environmental Studies from the University of Victoria in the Environmental, Social, and Personality Lab, and a BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Ottawa.
