On Non-epistemic Values in Climate Science for Decision Support
Climate change is an ever-increasing threat to humanity, making the need for decision relevant, actionable climate science more and more pressing. With this need comes pressure to articulate what constitutes responsible practice in climate science for decision support. This requires in part …

Earth Mission Control: A Virtual Reality Platform for Bridging the Climate Science Communication Gap
… information about the Earth’s changing climate, yet scientists often use only one tool or modality to communicate their ideas about climate data, such as two-dimensional figures and graphs. With the rise of commercially available virtual reality (VR), we can leverage the affordances of …

A vertically-integrated approach to climate science : from measurements and machine learning to models and policy
… of understanding past, present, and future climate. Studying how these particles influence ice cloud formation requires careful measurement of their ice nucleating ability as well as robust uncertainty quantification of experimental results. These measurements and their corresponding …

Communicating Air: Alternative Pathways to Environmental Knowing through Computational Ecomedia
… to environmental knowing in a time of urgent climate crisis. This thesis traces the author’s artistic, personal and political development across the period of study and presents an extended argument for greater public engagement with weather and climate science, greater public and private …

It's a Conspiracy: Motivated Reasoning and Conspiracy Ideation in the Rejection of Climate Change
… the general public's acceptance of human-caused climate change and the prevailing consensus of actively publishing scientists. Previous research has examined both political and economic motivated reasoning, media influence in print and television, conspiracy ideation as a predictor of science …

Essays on the Social Impacts of Climate
… been difficult to measure the social impact of climate, so the scale and scope of its influence on populations remains mostly theoretical. This dissertation integrates data and quantitative methods from climate science, economics and political science to develop new techniques for empirically …

Architects, Climate Change, and Resilience: Bridging Gaps Between Research and Practice
Intensifying climate change impacts puts cities at unprecedented risk, including their populations, ecosystems, and built environments. In the face of large-scale and enduring climate change impacts, resilience has rapidly emerged as a central priority for cities. Research indicates resilience …

LIFE ON THE EDGE: The Archeologist, the Oil Rig, and the Newfoundlander
… in 2101; one year past the limit of current climate science predictions. In this projective future, the now obsolete infrastructures of Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil rigs are moved near-to-shore. The rigs are slowly and incrementally deconstructed, now serving as monumental …

India's Temporal Imaginaries of Climate Change, 1988-2018
The advent of climate change promises extreme disruptions to existing concepts of political time, namely the distinction between the modes of time adopted by modern nation-states, natural time, and the everyday life of human beings. Yet the nation-state remains the primary actor through which …

Information Extraction from Scientific Literature
… impacting time-sensitive fields like climate science and biomedical research where delayed insights hinder urgent policy decisions or therapeutic developments. Automated information extraction systems have transitioned from supplemental tools to essential infrastructure, addressing …

Is climate real? A phenomenological approach to climate and its changes
The question if climate is real is occasioned by a discrepancy between the increased certainty that climate change is being experienced and the impossibility of experiencing climate (change) according to the very framework which provides the basis for this certainty: climate science. I trace this …

Effortless data exploration with zenvisage: an expressive and interactive visual analytics system
… including biology, mechanical engineering, climate science, and commerce. We formalize the expressiveness of ZQL via a visual exploration algebra, and demonstrate that ZQL is at least as expressive as that algebra. While analysts are free to use ZQL directly, we also expose ZQL via a visual …

Parameter Estimation for Delay Differential Equations: A New Galerkin Approximation Framework
… applied fields, including mathematical biology, climate science, and engineering. These equations contain free parameters and integral kernels that must be optimized to fit the dynamics of the physical systems they model. In this thesis, we present a framework for determining the discrete delays, …
