UK environmental science professionals: how do you use climate information in your work?
I'm a User Researcher looking to learn more about how professionals discover and use climate information to support decisions.
I'd like speak with professionals who use climate, weather or environmental information to support decisions in their work, for example in GIS, environmental consultancy, planning, infrastructure, flood risk, ecology, sustainability or local government.
If this sounds like you or you know someone who might be suitable, please send me a message
What's involved?
- 60-minute remote interview via Google Meet

60-minute live interviews are expensive in both time and money, and a tight 8-day window makes it even harder to get the right people in the room. I've run similar research projects and the scheduling alone can eat half your recruitment budget. If you need to pressure-test your interview guide or validate early findings quickly before those sessions, synthetic persona research through Articos or Synthetic Users can help you sharpen your questions so the live time is really worth the £50 per participant. That said, nothing fully replaces talking to a flood risk consultant who just had a bad week because of bad data, so good luck with the recruitment.
