Mathematics and climate change
Mathematics and climate change are closely connected, and environmentalists use mathematics to make predictions, create mathematical models, or design lower-impact alternatives in their studies.[1][2][3][4]
Mathematical knowhow is necessary in producing knowledge about climate change, understanding it as a phenomenon and contributing to the climate debate.[5]
History
Before being climate change politicized in the 1990s[6][7], studies showed the connection between math and climate change.[8]
American Mathematical Society[9] and NASA[10][11] recognize that climate change uses and needs mathematics for understanding the climate change phenomenon, as well as for understanding the climate crisis, and much more[12]. European Mathematical Society[13] and London Mathematical Society[14] also speak about it.
University of Chicago Math Institute focused on how pure mathematics (such as group theory) and statistics can be used to tackle climate change.[15]
In popular culture
- Maths for Planet Earth (mathsforplanetearth.ouce.ox.ac.uk) is a website and research group that develops mathematical modelling tools for studying Planet Earth.[16]
- Imaginary (mathematics outreach exhibitions) made in 2013 an exhibition about mathematics and climate change.[17]
