This paper discusses the artwork "Visions of Destruction", with a primary conceptual focus on the Anthropocene, which is communicated through audience interaction and generative AI as artistic research methods. Gaze-based interaction…
It is argued that a dedicated effort to increase the reflectivity of the surface of our planet by means of, for example, metallic plates would induce an increase in the global albedo which would counteract in part the present global-warming…
Consumer food waste, like many environmental behaviours, takes place in private, and is not directly subject to social monitoring. Nevertheless, social interactions can affect private opinions and behaviours. This paper builds an…
The exhibition Butterfly: Glo-cal Effects of Data, Energy, and Industry is, at its core, a meditation on entanglement-between the global and the local, the ecological and the digital, the material and the virtual. It asks how we might…
As the recent financial crisis showed, today there is a strong need to gain "ecological perspective" of all relevant interactions in socio-economic-techno-environmental systems. For this, we suggested to set-up a network of Centers for…
Many earth science applications require data at both high spatial and temporal resolution for effective monitoring of various ecosystem resources. Due to practical limitations in sensor design, there is often a trade-off in different…
Marine ecosystems face unprecedented threats from climate change and plastic pollution, yet traditional environmental education often struggles to translate awareness into sustained behavioral change. This paper presents OceanChat, an…
Sustainability of ecosystems & ecosystem management are increasingly accepted societal goals. Can conservation programs be improved by incorporating local people's understanding of ecosystems? The Kizilirmak Delta is one of Turkey's most…
What if digital fabrication waste could observe the world? What would they see? What would they say? "THE WASTIVE" reimagines digital fabrication waste as sentient observers, giving them a poetic voice through interactive art. As viewers…
Water is a crucial pre-requisite for all human activities. Due to growing demand from population and shrinking supply of potable water, there is an urgent need to use computational methods to manage available water intelligently, and…
Urban flooding is a growing climate change-related hazard in rapidly expanding African cities, where inadequate waste management often blocks drainage systems and amplifies flood risks. This study introduces an AI-powered urban waste…
For most health or well-being interventions, the process of evaluation is distinct from the activity itself, both in terms of who is involved, and how the actual data is collected and analyzed. Tangible interaction affords the opportunity…
This paper introduces Experiversum, a lakehouse-based ecosystem that supports the curation, documentation and reproducibility of exploratory experiments. Experiversum enables structured research through iterative data cycles, while…
The recent emergence of extreme climate events has significantly raised awareness about sustainable living. In addition to developing energy-saving materials and technologies, existing research mainly relies on traditional methods that…
Interactions between people and ecological systems, through leisure or tourism activities, form a complex socio-ecological spatial network. The analysis of the benefits people derive from their interactions with nature -- also referred to…
The most common way for robots to handle environmental information is by using maps. At present, each kind of data is hosted on a separate map, which complicates planning because a robot attempting to perform a task needs to access and…
The anthropocentric cultural idea that humans are active agents exerting control over their environments has been largely normalized and inscribed in practices, policies, and products of contemporary industrialized societies. This view…
The influential Limits to Growth report introduced a system dynamics-based model to demonstrate global dynamics of the world's population, industry, natural resources, agriculture, and pollution between 1900-2100. In current times, the…
Climate change is a major threat to humanity, and the actions required to prevent its catastrophic consequences include changes in both policy-making and individual behaviour. However, taking action requires understanding the effects of…
Biodiversity loss is a critical planetary boundary, yet its connection to computing remains largely unexamined. Prior sustainability efforts in computing have focused on carbon and water, overlooking biodiversity due to the lack of…
