Jordan Clark is a Co-Founder and the Chief Climatologist at Klimo Insights. His work is at the intersection of climate and health, with a focus on the effects of extreme heat.

Jordan completed his PhD in Geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, during which he worked with NOAA’s Southeast Regional Climate Center and Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments. His graduate research focused on linking heat stress indices directly to health outcomes, assessing microclimatic variations in heat stress using wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), and developing a forecast tool to predict WBGT across the eastern two-thirds of the United States.

Jordan also works as a Senior Policy Associate at the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University.

In his spare time, Jordan enjoys spending time with his family — including dog Ollie and cats Loki, Bandit, and Breezy. Besides the weather, his hobbies include all things plants. He is currently on year 4 of breeding his own tomato variety.
