It may seem counterintuitive that climate changes could bring both floods and dryness, which seem like extremes on opposite ends of the weather spectrum. But they are connected, writes Elisabeth Moyer in USA Today.

Climate scientist and CSEi Research Fellow Jessica Wan joined the Oceanography podcast to explain how marine cloud brightening (MCB) works, and what climate models reveal about MCB's unintended effects.

Climate Systems Engineering initiative Founding Faculty Director David Keith speaks with Smarter Markets at CERAWeek 2026.

David Keith introduces the series, outlining the four dimensions of climate action: decarbonization, carbon removal, sunlight reflection, and adaptation; the four tools that can weaken the causal chain that stretches from economic activity to the impacts of climate change on...

 B. B. Cael, an assistant professor in the Department of the Geophysical Sciences, talks about his work in ocean alkalinity and the importance of climate systems engineering research.

Two scientists argue that the growing commercial efforts to counter climate change by reflecting away sunlight will thwart responsible research in the field.

Our 2025 poll with The Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research explored Americans' attitudes on climate change, their views on key climate and energy policies, how they feel about electric vehicles and the policies to encourage them, and their...

We should celebrate cleaner air, but we also have to reckon with an unintended consequence. It turns out that by reflecting sunlight back into space, tiny sulfur particles protected Earth from about a third of the warming caused by human...

When disaster strikes and funding fails, some experts and leaders are considering a Plan B: deliberately cooling the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space. This episode traces the science, the politics, and the ethics of geoengineering—from volcanic eruptions to...

David Keith, a pioneering climate scientist and founder of Carbon Engineering, unpacks the technological, policy, and economic hurdles to direct air capture and other approaches.
