Ms. Goldsmith’s research explores public opinion and policy related to innovations in science and technology in matters of the environment and natural resources, energy, and infrastructure, and environmental health. Currently, her work examines how attitudes toward science and technology, risk-benefit perceptions, trust, and individual factors influence support or opposition to public policies to reduce flood-related risks and emergent technologies, such as genetic engineering and new types of nuclear energy generation.

Ms. Goldsmith has published research articles in peer-reviewed journals including Environment & Behavior, Risk Analysis, Review of Policy Research, Environmental Hazards, Health Security, and Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy, Politics and the Life Sciences.

Additionally, Ms. Goldsmith is a skilled grant writer, project manager, and a strong contributor to the development of survey instruments and implementation logistics.
