Timmons" <[email protected]> Subject: Memory book page for JoAnn All, I just got this from the DUSP department at MIT. There's a bio and photo of JoAnn. DUSP is setting up a Memory Book page on their website for those who want to share their memories of JoAnn in a celebration of her life and all that she did for our community and beyond. http://dusp.mit.edu/in-memoriam/professor-joann-carmin In-Memoriam page: We are saddened to report the news that Associate Professor JoAnn Carmin passed away on July 14, 2014. Professor Carmin was an internationally-renowned scholar of the institutional and societal dimensions of environmental governance. Her research focused on urban climate adaptation with particular attention to the question of why cities pursue climate adaptation planning, how adaptation activities are mainstreamed, and in what ways do local governments address the needs of the most vulnerable populations in their decisions and implementation activities. She published four books, as well as numerous journal articles and book chapters, on research conducted in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Professor Carmin served on multiple editorial boards and a variety of national and international climate adaptation steering committees and advisory boards. She was a Lead Author for the urban chapter of the US National Climate Assessment and the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
