In this short thought piece, we propose to embrace joy as a foundational building brick of the transition towards sustainable ways of living. Research shows the many complexities of promoting awareness of and action against climate change. It also ...

In this work, we aim to understand the general public perception of societal issues related to the current climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic on Twitter (X). Social media discussions on such matters often lead to misleading information, resulting ...

It is widely accepted that climate change requires dramatic behavioural changes. Persuasive technologies have the potential to encourage individuals to develop pro-environmental behaviour, but the design and use of climate persuasive applications is ...

Remote Indigenous communities in northern Australia are experiencing increasingly severe weather hazards due to climate change. Indigenous knowledge practices for weather and climate risk reduction exist alongside Western meteorological and emergency ...

Critical Climate Machine is a cutting-edge media art installation that critically exposes and quantifies mechanisms of climate change misinformation. Utilizing computational aesthetics across data, imagery, and sound, this work processes real-time data ...

Bangladesh stands as a prime example of a nation exceptionally vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Its low-lying coastal and deltaic landscape predisposes it to frequent flooding, a challenge exacerbated by a significant portion ...

Urban mobility is a major contributor to human-induced climate change, a challenge that urban and transport planning and spatial computing academic communities have been actively addressing. In this article we argue, however, that the common data ...

The international treaty known as the Paris Agreement requires global greenhouse gas emissions to decrease at a pace that will limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Given the pressure on all sectors to reduce their emissions to meet this target, ...

A resilient Internet infrastructure is critical in our highly interconnected society. However, the Internet faces several vulnerabilities, ranging from natural disasters to human activities, that can impact the physical layer and, in turn, the higher ...

Climate change is a pressing global concern, with increasing global warming rates demanding immediate attention. People’s perspectives on this issue are multifaceted and can be polarized but are not immutable. My doctoral project seeks to determine ...

Public discourse on critical issues such as climate change is progressively shifting to social media platforms that prioritize short-form video content. Content creators acting on those platforms play a pivotal role in shaping the discourse, yet the ...

Teaching climate change is difficult. Its complexity spans many subjects, often taught disjointedly. Many climate change effects are not immediately observable, making it hard for students to connect to it personally.

This study ...

Participation in climate activism is often facilitated by joining groups on digital platforms, for online and in-person participation in the movement. However, despite the easy access to communities digitally, people of colour (POC) are underrepresented ...

As concerns about social bots online increase, studies have attempted to explore the discourse they produce, and its effects on individuals and the public at large. We argue that the common reliance on aggregated scores of binary classifiers for bot ...

In an increasingly digitized world, online information-seeking (OIS) behaviors have reflected people’s intentions and constituted a critical component in synthesizing public opinion. Climate change is among the gravest threats facing the world today, and ...

The current conventional water resources management planning method realizes the optimal allocation of water resources by constructing a function aiming at economic benefits; it causes poor model planning repercussions as a result of the disregard of ...

Within the scope of a citizen science project that aims at understanding the ecological impact of climate change on bacteria communities in Swiss alpine lakes, we designed and implemented an interactive information platform using data collected from ...

Enthusiasm for “greening the financial system” is welcome, but a fundamental challenge remains: financial decision makers lack the necessary information. It is not enough to know that climate change is bad. Markets need credible, digestible information on ...

I apply a novel machine-learning based “weather index” method to daily store-level sales data for a national apparel and sporting goods brand to examine short-run responses to weather and long-run adaptation to climate. I find that even when considering ...
