Risk Communication in Real Time: Examining Individuals’ Smartphone Use During the 2021 Texas Winter Disaster With Mobile Sensing

In this study, we provide a detailed description of how individuals encounter risk communication during extreme weather events by analyzing comprehensive records of all the content that 11 adults viewed on their smartphones (n = 162,418 screenshots collected via mobile sensing) over 5 days of the winter disaster that struck Texas in February 2021. Participants viewed substantial amounts of risk communication, which comprised, on average, 21% of their total smartphone use during the winter disaster...

How self-efficacy and response efficacy change with risk and adaptation behaviors during tropical cyclones

From our analysis of three (2020–2022) tropical cyclones in the U.S. that threatened 4,306 participants, we demonstrate that (1) time moderates the positive association between momentary levels of personal risk and response efficacy and (2) adaptation behaviors positively associate with momentary levels of response efficacy, but not self-efficacy...

Affective Sensitivity to Air Pollution (ASAP): Person-specific associations between daily air pollution and affective states

Individuals’ sensitivity to climate hazards is a central component of their vulnerability to climate change. In this paper, we introduce and outline the utility of a new intraindividual variability construct, affective sensitivity to air pollution (ASAP)...

Climate Impacts of Digital Use Supply Chains

Information and communications technology (ICT) has become an indispensable part of our lives. Prior research on climate impact of ICT devices and services mostly makes use of life cycle assessment and energy modeling frameworks focused on embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
