abstract |
This article explores some of the ways that time figures in the scientific practices
of instrumental micrometeorology and climatic and weather modeling. It draws on ethnographic
work done with the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA),
an international scientific project that aims to assess the role of the Amazon forest
in the global carbon cycle and to provide sustainable techniques for the future management
of the region. An examination of the knowl- edge practices that have emerged from
this ethnography (such as cali- bration and prediction) provides an opportunity to
rethink the relation between ‘natural time’ and ‘social time(s)’. This allows for
a discussion of the roles that certainty, uncertainty, finiteness, and limitlessness
play in both scientific and ethnographic practice. |
