vis4climate: Workshop on Building a Transdisciplinary Climate Vis Community
Organizers:Christina Humer,Andreas Hinterreiter,Aymeric Ferron,Fanny Chevalier,Marc Streit,Menna El-Assady,Luiz A. Morais,Georgia Panagiotidou,Benjamin Bach
The need to understand, mitigate, and adapt to climate change and its resulting problems is greater than ever. Solutions can take many forms, ranging from understanding key factors in climate modeling to monitoring forests and species distributions to deciding how to model a sustainable energy or transportation grid, and finally, to communicating the implications to non-experts. This 4th IEEE VIS workshop on visualization and climate change aims to continue the discussion of the role visualization can play in mitigating climate change and to build a strong community of academics and practitioners. In contrast to the interdisciplinary role of visualization in other domains, climate change problems include numerous and diverse stakeholders, and therefore calls for transdisciplinary collaborations among these stakeholders. This workshop aims to elevate the role of visualization in combating climate change by creating a space for interactive discussions with invited guests and the scientific community. To this end, the workshop invites a diverse set of guests from policy, community engagement, and science.
