I just presented at the #SRA-E Benelux meeting on how social influence and norms can be a leaver for the widespread uptake of private climate change adaptation. Thanks for the great discussions, food, and sessions.

Interested in #TippingPoints in social simulation? Check out our poster (with @jakkerman.bsky.social and @tatianafilatova.bsky.social ) today at #ssc2025. We propose a procedure for how to detect tipping in (social) simulation data.

Today I presented at #SSC2025 on the role of social norms and interactions for transformational climate change adaptation of households. Reach out if you want to know more!

1/4 Just published our RofASSS piece on modeling deep structural change in agent-based simulation! 🧵
Our ESSA Special Interest Group on Modelling Transformative Change (@thorid.bsky.social, @Nicholas Roxburgh & me) ran a workshop at Social Simulation Fest 2025.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of farmers’ adaptation to #CC is paramount to survive climate-induced hazards.

@thorid.bsky.social, @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, and I show how to extract them from peer reviewed articles using #NLP. 👇🏽

Incremental and transformational climate change adaptation factors in agriculture worldwide: A comparative analysis using natural language processing

Climate change is projected to adversely affect agriculture worldwide. This requires farmers to adapt incrementally already early in the twenty-first century, and to pursue transformational adaptation...

Check out this work from our team with @sof14g1l.bsky.social @jakkerman.bsky.social and @tatianafilatova.bsky.social! And my first co-authored publication :)

🚨Publication alert!

In this work, @sc3team.bsky.social used #NLP algorithms to provide insights into the barriers and drivers of adaptation to #floods and #SLR. We show that the interplay between individuals, communities, and governments is key for effective adaptation action.

🚨Working Paper Alert!

In this work, me, @thorid.bsky.social, @joosakkerman.bsky.social, & @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, analyze the associations between different #climatechange adaptations and actors' constraints in adaptation to climate-induced #floods and #sea-level-rise.

🚨 Working paper alert! 🚨

In our last work, @thorid.bsky.social, @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, and I performed a #NLP Literature Review of the factors associated with farmers' incremental and transformational adaptation to #ClimateChange ! 👩‍🌾🌱🌎
