Call for Submissions — SIGIR 2024 Workshop on Information Retrieval for Climate
Impact
Climate change is a far-reaching, global phenomenon that will impact many
aspects of our society. The evidence base for observed climate impacts is
expanding, and the wider climate literature is growing exponentially. How can
effective access be provided to the growing body of peer-reviewed literature on
climate change impact?
Purpose
The emphasis will be on discussion, not a mini-conference but a dynamic sharing
of ideas. The workshop will be organized along four areas of interest: (i)
Information needs in climate impact; (ii) Search and analysis of formal
literature for climate impact; (iii) Search and analysis of informal
publications for climate impact; and (iv) Resources to support IR for climate
impact. During the workshop, we will work towards creating actionable technical
research agendas for each of them.
Call for contributions
To help shape a research agenda for information retrieval for climate impact,
we welcome technical contributions and position papers as extended abstracts
(2-4 pages) on a wide range of topics, on a wide range of topics related to
information retrieval for climate impact, including but not limited to very
large-scale systematic reviews, climate language models, geolocated literature
with climate information, evidence synthesis.
