Forood Azargoshasbi is a Data Intern at PCIC. His work at PCIC focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on precipitation and climatologies in Canada at a 4 km resolution. In his Ph.D. work, Forood uses numerical weather and air quality prediction models to assess the impacts of climate change on population exposure to climate hazards and air pollution at a 1 km resolution, with a specific focus on the cities of Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia. Additionally, he is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of heat mitigation strategies.
