Abstract
This dissertation explores data-driven, computational techniques for sustainability decision-making, particularly focusing on the transportation sector and the carbon accounting landscape. Given the urgency of large-scale decarbonization efforts underscored by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this work proposes and evaluates methods to help decision-makers navigate complex interactions between humans, engineering systems, and ecological systems, taking into account factors such as data accessibility and uncertainty. The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first, encompassing chapters two and three, delves into how computational techniques and data can expedite the decarbonization of the transportation sector. The second part, which includes chapters four and five, emphasizes elevating societal understanding and accounting of carbon emissions in the context of sustainable decision-making. Altogether, this dissertation underscores the importance of comprehensive, computationally-enhanced, data-driven, and uncertainty-aware approaches to sustainability decision-making, thus providing practical pathways for effective climate change mitigation.
