WEBINAR - Mapping Where We Agree and Disagree About Climate Change

Research led by Dr. Peter Howe reveals this statistic, along with much more detailed data about how Americans think about climate change from the national to the local level. Drawing from large surveys of the American public, Dr. Howe’s research has developed statistical methods to map public opinion, risk perceptions, and responses in every state, county, and even neighborhood across the country. Although climate change has become a politically polarized issue, the data show that Americans agree about many of the solutions.

Peter D. Howe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environment and Society in the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources at Utah State University. Dr. Howe is an interdisciplinary environmental social scientist with roots in human-environment geography and geographic information science. His research focuses on the intersection of human decision making with climate change and environmental hazards, using large-scale social surveys, geospatial analysis, statistical modeling, and geovisualization.
