Political climate in the Carolingian world
This article examines a theory of kingship that grew popular at the ninth-century court of Charlemagne. Suited to Carolingian articulations of power, it centered the emperor in a cosmic sense. This included long-term weather trends, a concept I argue is akin to climate. Since a bad ruler could produce poor weather, the theory was a double-edged sword, providing opportunities for political critique. Carolingian courtiers viewed atmospheric events …

The Environmental History of the Late Antique West
Cacophony
The proliferation of sensors in the world has created increased opportunities for context-aware applications. However, it is often cumbersome to capitalize on these opportunities due to the difficulties inherent in collecting, fusing, and reasoning with data from a heterogeneous set of distributed sensors. The fabric that connects sensors lacks resilience and fault tolerance in the face of infrastructure intermittency. To address these difficulti…
Haitian resiliency
In 2010 Haiti experienced a catastrophic earthquake that destroyed a substantial amount of infrastructure in the capital of Port-au-Prince. Limited national resources and widespread poverty have made the rebuilding slow and piecemeal. Five years later that infrastructure is still unevenly repaired and maintained. Nevertheless, the Haitian people have, by necessity, continued to adapt in order to take care of day-to-day activities. Based on a fiel…
What if sustainability doesn't work out
The authors Bill Tomlinson, Donald J. Patterson, Yue Pan, Eli Blevis, and Bonnie Nardi share their views on how IT tools can support adaptation to global change. The research named 'adaptation informatics' entails the study, design, and development of sociotechnical systems for use in a future characterized by global change. Key opportunities exist for IT systems to support a high quality of life in these adaptation scenarios. IT systems may enab…
