Advancing our understanding of the potential benefits and risks of climate systems engineering.
About the Climate Systems Engineering initiative
The University of Chicago is working to better understand the science, technology, and public policy of Climate Systems Engineering and to educate students who will inform how society navigates a warming planet in the years ahead.
Leadership
CSEi has an executive committee that reports to the University’s provost and oversees faculty recruitment, budget, engagement, and long-term planning. The committee is led by Geophysical Sciences Professor David Keith.
Faculty Jobs
The University is building CSEi into a world-leading initiative with multiple faculty hires researching sunlight reflection methods (SRM), open-system carbon removal, and interventions to limit loss of glacial ice.
Faculty Grants: Request for Proposals
CSEi is pleased to invite letters of intent from all UChicago tenure-line faculty, academics, and staff with PI status for Seed Grants and Faculty Research Grants. Seed Grants are designed to ignite new areas of investigation, while Faculty Research Grants are intended to make a significant contribution to the field of climate systems engineering.
SRM360, a new nonprofit initiative co-founded by CSEi Professor Peter Irvine, officially launches to bring clarity and context to the complex world of sunlight reflection methods (SRM).
