Exploring the Connections Between Nature Exposure and Stress During Covid-19 Using Latent Profile Analysis
Connection with nature is essential for human well-being and has been correlated to lower stress. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, stress levels and connection with nature changed for many employees in the United States who became fully remote. In this article, we present results from a latent profile analysis (LPA) on a longitudinal study conducted at three timepoints from December 2020 to March 2022 among remote workers. We use LPA…
Leveraging neuroscience for climate change research
Using Data Sonification to Overcome Science Literacy, Numeracy, and Visualization Barriers in Science Communication
Sharing the complex narratives within scientific data in an intuitive fashion has proven difficult, especially for communicators endeavoring to reach a wide audience comprised of individuals with differing levels of scientific knowledge and mathematical ability. We discuss the application of data sonification – the process of translating data into sound, sometimes in a musical context– as a method of overcoming barriers to science communication. …
Adapting neuroeconomics for environmental and energy policy
Neuroimaging methods provide insight into the neural mechanisms underlying the decision process, characterizing choice at the individual level and, in a growing number of contexts, predicting national- and market-level behavior. This dual capacity to examine heterogeneity while forecasting aggregate choice is particularly beneficial to those studying environmental decision-making. To effectively reduce residential energy usage and foster other pr…
Risk, Uncertainty, and Institutional Failure in the 2014 West Virginia Chemical Spill
On January 9, 2014, 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (MCHM), a chemical used to process coal, spilled into West Virginia’s Elk River and contaminated the drinking water of over 300,000 people. In the following weeks, the public uncovered a series of institutional failures—among the private sector, local utilities, and government agencies—preceding and following the spill. This case study introduces students to the institutional complexities and ecolog…
