Project Information

Study of Twitter during Climate Summit 2014 (NYC, Sep/2014) and COP21 (Paris, Nov-Dec/2015).

Reserach Questions:

Network structure

• Who are the voices (identity)?
• How are they interconnected (identity clusters)?
• How are they geographically mapped over time?

Narrative

• What are the major frames (topic salience) in the discourse?
• How are the frames paired (e.g. immigration & national security) to mold public perception
• How is the content sourced (news media/NGO/pundits...)
