The Weather Memory Bank

Summary

This project investigates how people relate to and remember their local weather and particular weather events they have experienced throughout their lives. We are also interested in what or whom informs their understanding of climate change. Different experiences and memories are central to the way in which information on long-term climate change, and short-lived weather events, is gathered and transmitted across generations. iPad users will need to enable cookies in Safari settings to submit their Weather Memories.
