Big data has big potential for applications to climate change adaptation

The capacity to collect and analyze massive amountsof data is transforming research in the natural and socialsciences (1). And yet, the climate change adaptationcommunity has largely overlooked these developments.Here, we examine how “big data” can inform adaptationresearch and decision-making and outline what’sneeded from the adaptation community to maximizethis opportunity. We contend that careful applicationof big data could revolutionize our understanding ofhow to manage the risks of climate change.
