Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Changes in the frequency and intensity of climate‐related disasters are changing the social landscape for environmental research. Even in the most optimistic scenarios, the proportion of researchers forced to deal with the effects of climate change will continue to grow. Methodologies across disciplines need to be adaptable to meaningfully address the ethical and practical challenges of conducting research in an increasingly disaster‐prone world. In this article, we draw on insights from fields including disaster and emergency literatures and our personal experiences as researchers directly impacted by climate disasters to put forward a framework for climate change‐conscious research methodologies. This review offers considerations for ethical research in climate change‐affected communities and outlines critical areas for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
