She works at the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (UAM). She is anthropologist and social scientist. She completed also a post-graduate studies in Environmental Protection at the Faculty of Biology, at the University of Warsaw. Her main interest is impact of climate change in specific localities, on-the-ground experience and perception of climate change as well as local knowledge about climate change. She is particularly interested in researching the socio-environmental dynamics of climate change, mitigation, and climate injustice. In the project she is responsible for ethnographic research in Warsaw. You can reach her at: z.bienkowska@uw.edu.pl 

Zofia Boni is the PI of the project. She is a social anthropologist. She did her PhD at SOAS, University of London and is currently an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (UAM). In this project, Zofia combines her previous research interests in people’s embodied experiences, aligned with medical anthropology, with a fascination with interdisciplinary research. She is particularly keen on understanding and demonstrating the connections between global climate change and people’s daily experiences. You can reach her at zofia.boni@amu.edu.pl  

Nuria Castell, Project Partner, has PhD degree in Atmospheric Physics and at present holds a position as senior research scientist at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU). Her current research focuses on the exploitation of novel monitoring technologies to complement existing monitoring systems in the characterization of the urban environment. She is passionate about engaging citizens in scientific activities, and she is exploring new ways of using citizen science to both monitor the environment and increase environmental action. Email: ncb@nilu.no  

Franciszek Chwałczyk is a PhD researcher at the Institute of Cultural Studies, and works at the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (UAM). He holds MA in Cultural studies and MSc in Cognitive science. His research focuses on human-environment relations, especially on the anthropocene proposiotion and alternatives (like capitalocene or urbanocene) in context of (planetary) urbanization. His other academic interests focus on methodology, STS, philosophy of science and inter/multi/transdisciplinarities. In the project he is responsible mainly for the analysis of urban adaptation strategies. Email: franciszek.chwalczyk@amu.edu.pl 

Amirhossein Hassani, PhD in Environmental Engineering and with background in Petroleum Engineering, is currently a researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU). His research is focused on developing data-driven tools to inform policymaking and identify monitoring solutions which enhance the resilience of societies and ecosystems to future environmental challenges. He is interested in research across different disciplines, particularly application of Earth System Science Data to tackle the current and future social, economic, and environmental challenges. The output of his research will be of great societal relevance and will support research, policy making, and citizen science. His main contribution is implementation of AI and state-of-the-art geoprocessing techniques to analyze the required underlying environmental data for EmCliC project. Email ahas@nilu.no

Barbara Jancewicz, Project Partner, self-identifies as a sociologist (MA and PhD) with a mathematical background (BA). Currently she leads the Socio-Economic Research Unit at University of Warsaw’s Centre of Migration Research. Her research interests cover migration intentions, survey methodology, income inequality perceptions, and now also peoples’ perceptions of climate change. Email: b.jancewicz@uw.edu.pl

Iulia Marginean, Project Partner, is an environmental scientist, currently doing her PhD about  climate impacts on human health, at the University of Oslo. She holds a researcher position at the Center for International Climate Research (CICERO) where she focuses on disentangling the complex relationships between the wide range of climate factors causing negative effects on society. Iulia is passionate about exploring alternative approaches for identifying new opportunities to better manage climate risk. She is interested in transdisciplinary research and exploring new ways to bridge climate science with epidemiology and other health studies. Email: iulia.marginean@cicero.oslo.no 

Małgorzata Wrotek is a PhD researcher at the Faculty of Economic Sciences University of Warsaw. She has participated in research activities of the Centre of Migration Research since 2016 and was involved in two projects: „Unfinished migration transition and ageing population in Poland. Asynchronous population changes and the transformation of formal and informal care institutions” and „The economic integration of immigrants in a country in the intermediate phase of the migration cycle – Poland versus selected EU countries”. Her main research interests are focused on gerontology, epidemiology and demography, especially population ageing and possible impact on long term care. She uses statistical analysis and quantitative methods in her research. Email: mwrotek@wne.uw.edu.pl  

Paloma Yáñez Serrano is a PhD Researcher in Social Anthropology with Visual Media at the University of Manchester. She works at the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (UAM). Her research focuses on labourers’ embodied adaptations to industrial agriculture and changing landscape in Almería, in southern Spain. She is an award-winning independent ethnographic filmmaker and social anthropologist interested in the methods of adaptation humans develop to address the changing environment, technology and political conflicts. In this project, Paloma is responsible for conducting ethnographic research in Madrid. She is particularly interested on local manifestations of resilience mechanisms, as well as the social networks of support that help communities cope with thermal stress. Email: pyanezser@uoc.edu
