     Susi is a Research Scientist at the Institute for the Study of Society and Environment (ISSE) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. She is a geographer by training (Ph.D. 1997, Clark University), whose research foci for the last ten years have been the human dimensions of global change. Susi has focused on uncertainties in the human dimensions of global change (causes, vulnerability, impacts, and adaptive responses), focusing on coastal areas and human health. She has worked for the Heinz Center in Washington, DC on a congressionally mandated project on coastal erosion and management, and for the Union of Concerned Scientists as their staff scientist for climate change. Her current research foci include effective climate change communication and social change, science–stakeholder (in particular decision-makers) interactions, coastal impacts of climate change and effective adaptation strategies. Susi is co-editor with Lisa Dilling (University of Colorado-Boulder) on a major anthology on climate change communication, called Creating a Climate for Change: Communicating Climate Change and Facilitating Social Change, published in 2006 by Cambridge University Press. She also has published papers in Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, Science, Journal of Geography in Higher Education, Environment, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,  Global Environmental Change, Global Environmental Politics, and Environmental Research Letters, as well as chapters in books published by The MIT Press, Cambridge University Press, and several others.
