Summary:

"Models change our worlds. From global carbon flux models to regional coastal flood prediction maps, climate-related models influence how we know our environment, how we build our cities, and how we act on a climate-altered planet. Climate Changed examines models and their imperfect yet central role in our understanding of the relationship between global climate dynamics and the human built environment. Models are commonly authored within specific scientific or humanistic disciplines and require expertise to navigate, which creates communication difficulties exacerbated by the fact that we need to weave together a range of disparate models to better understand the climate crisis. No single model can holistically capture climate change's multidimensional consequences-be it for a vast region's emissions, the adaptation picture for specific coastal cities, or a portion of a national response to the climate crisis. Each modeler's expertise provides only partial insight to a crisis produced and experienced in material, social, and political terms. Alongside the science encoded in climate models, locally-situated and transdisciplinary knowledge is also essential to navigate current and future cataclysmic changes. This volume highlights the challenges and consequences of disciplinary boundaries, siloed scientific knowledge, and uneven data and generates paths forward beyond those limitations by providing case studies and comparisons of models in disciplines ranging from architecture and planning to climate science and natural hazards research"-- Provided by publisher.
