Join us for a lunch & learn presentation from Ann Marie Hulver! Abstract The climate engineering solution known as Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) shifts the oceanic carbon equilibrium away from CO2, drawing more atmospheric CO2 into the oceans. This process...

On May 18 and 19, 2026 the University of Chicago Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth and the Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEi) hosted a conference to advance the understanding of climate engineering through rigorous analysis and open debate.

The CSEi Seminar Series brings researchers from the natural and social sciences, industry practitioners, and policymakers to the University of Chicago to explore critical questions in climate systems engineering. The series is intended to stimulate new research collaborations on campus...

CSEI and International House hosted an exclusive screening of "Plan C for Civilization," followed by a Q&A session with Director Ben Kalina and UChicago faculty featured in the film.
