The project CLIMASAT explores the origins of the practices and processes of producing, circulating and using data generated with Earth-orbiting satellites. The goal is to understand how the various ways in which satellite data were collectively negotiated, shared, maintained and used were co-produced with the forms of environmental knowledge that we have inherited today.
The project CLIMASAT fosters a safe, respectful and inclusive working environment for all, and is committed to ensuring a balanced representation of gender, functional diversity, geographical areas, and minorities. You are encouraged to apply.
