The 2025–2027 cohort brings together six leading early-career researchers from diverse fields to explore and evaluate climate interventions aimed at reducing the risks of a warming planet.

A series of free public talks will examine the science, technologies, and policy implications behind large-scale interventions such as sunlight reflection methods (SRM), open-systems carbon removal, and glacial preservation.

CSEi is is now accepting applications for the 2026 cohort of CSEi Postdoctoral Researchers, to be appointed at the rank of Research Associate.

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).

The three-year grant aims to reduce uncertainties surrounding the scientific, engineering, and economic practicalities of sulfate aerosol-based SRM.

Manon Duret joins the University of Chicago faculty as a research assistant professor.

B. B. Cael joined the University of Chicago faculty as an assistant professor.

The impacts of climate change are already being felt in communities around the world through extreme heat, more frequent and intense storms, and more. Solar geoengineering might be one way to reduce these impacts—but it comes with its own risks....

Report finds many questions remain around technology to address glacier melting and sea-level rise

Prof. David Keith, who has worked at the interface of climate science, technology and public policy for over three decades, has joined the faculty of UChicago's Department of Geophysical Sciences to explore climate systems engineering.
