As the Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEi) at the University of Chicago enters its second year, it continues to grow its research capacity and expertise across key areas of climate systems engineering.

The Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEi) at the University of Chicago invites all undergraduate students in the college to take part in its inaugural CSEi Student Essay Contest. The contest asks one question: Should humanity deliberately deploy aerosols in the...

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....
