Enjoyed doing talk to inspiring group (Ekologi brez meja – ecologists without borders) in Slovenia on Building digital solutions for the Anthropocene: avoiding digital wastefulness (talk on YouTube). Key points: how the infrastructure we build into the tools we use everyday, e.g. building AI into search, is leading to growth in energy demand, data centres and materials. Plus the need to look systematically at energy systems, IT, water and material resources and how they do and will impact the environment and society in the future.

Talk: Where’s the value in energy data science?
Thoroughly enjoyed talking about the missing context to energy data time-series with the good folks at Keele in software & systems and Digital Society. Check out the slides.
Infinite growth without environmental impact?
Delighted to see our short article in the IES’ Environmental Scientist magazine making the case for ‘climate proportional computing’ is now available as open access!
Internet speed (and impact) limit anyone?
So, should there be limits to internet growth to halt it’s ever growing energy & carbon footprint, especially as we head further into IoT? Nice to see our limits2016 paper opinion piece picked up by tech radar and the IET, too.
