DCRP Doctoral Student Aurélie Brunie receives hazard fellowship

The Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Public Entity Risk Institute
with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) have awarded Aurélie Brunie a dissertation fellowship.

As a relatively small subset of many different disciplines, the interdisciplinary hazards field relies to an unusual
extent on a continuous influx of young scholars committed simultaneously to their own disciplines and to the
more practical, applied aspects of the field.  Via financial support, this program encourages student’s to become
part of the ongoing development of scholars in the disciplines that underlie the field of hazards, risk, and disasters.

The dissertations produced by this fellowship will contribute to the body of knowledge in hazards research and
ultimately foster the development of hazards scholars.  Funding from the NSF goes toward supporting work in
all aspects of natural and human-made hazards.  

Philip Berke serves as Brunie’s doctoral advisor.
