Climate Change & Emotions in Social Media

What does the world post about the climate – and how do posts help when the flood comes?

You examine climate posts by topic, emotion, place and time. Using floods as an example, you see how researchers use posts for disaster management. Then, as a Climate Agent, you analyse more than 17,000 posts with AI and discover the limits of the method. (Also bookable via OeAD).

Part of the citizen science project Climate Agents: Funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research (BMFWF) through Sparkling Science 2.0 (OeAD).
