Homer Babbidge Library
“Climate Change, Migration, and Inequality”
Filiz Garip (Princeton University)
There are over 10 million Mexican migrants in the United States; about half are undocumented. This work connects the historical mobility patterns to the United States extreme weather conditions in Mexico. The analysis combines predictive machine learning tools with mechanism-based statistical models. The results show that combination and sequencing of droughts are critical to all aspects of the migration process: who migrates, whether migrants use clandestine channels to cross, and when they return to Mexico.
Lunch will be served:
- Buffalo Chicken Wrap (buffalo chicken, chopped romaine, and shredded carrots with ranch dressing)
- The Riviera (turkey, brie cheese & thinly sliced granny smith apple with lettuce & cranberry mayonnaise on a croissant)
- Roasted Vegetable Stack Sandwich (grilled portabella mushroom, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion and other seasonal grilled vegetables topped with a balsamic glaze, served on a brioche roll)
