Please join us for this ANU School of Sociology x ANU Computational Culture Lab event on 'Climate’s Computational Infrastructures' featuring works in progress from Prof Michael Richardson (UNSW) and Prof Adrian Mackenzie (ANU).

Date: Thursday 9 April, 2026
Time: 12 - 1:30pm (AEST)
Location: RSSS Room 4.69, and Zoom (register to receive Zoom link)

What roles do computational infrastructures and their embedded values, priorities, and assumptions play in making knowledge about planetary futures? How do computational ensembles pull together computing architectures, data pipelines, calculative practices, and institutional settings to make climate knowledge actionable? What happens to uncertainty and the incomputable richness of ecologies as computational models become decisive in managing Earth futures?

In this seminar, Michael Richardson and Adrian Mackenzie offer two works-in-progress as invitations for a robust discussion of climate modelling and planetary computation as increasingly operative ensembles for making and managing futures.
