Caitlyn Hall is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Arizona Institute for Resilience and the School of Geography, Development & Environment at the University of Arizona. Her work examines how water, climate, disasters, and society interact across coupled human and environmental systems, with particular attention to environmental risk, decision-making under uncertainty, and the ways communities and institutions respond to environmental stress. She uses transdisciplinary approaches to connect hydrologic and environmental science with policy, institutions, and community expertise.
Caitlyn's background spans water resources, environmental remediation, disaster resilience, and applied environmental decision-making in the United States and internationally. Her work includes collaborations across the U.S.–Mexico region and broader international partnerships focused on complex water and resilience challenges. She is particularly interested in how cultural, social, and environmental dimensions of resilience interact, and in how scientific knowledge is produced, translated, and used across disciplines and decision contexts. Her work seeks to strengthen connections between hydrologic science, collaborative problem framing, and real-world action.
