Topic: climate

This fellowship connects research on climate, energy and environmental issues with policy and public impact. Fellows undertake a mentored research project and an impact-focused capstone while joining interdisciplinary training, retreats and peer-support activities. The programme develops skills in policy translation, public communication, community engagement and research leadership. It provides salary and benefits plus a $6,000 research-support stipend. Core programme activities last one year, with possible extension if funds permit. Applicants use the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship a

Lamont-Doherty offers 24-month research appointments spanning solid-Earth processes, ocean and atmospheric systems, climate, cryospheric dynamics, paleoclimate, biogeoscience and environmental contamination. Applicants propose an original Earth-science project and identify potential mentors; machine-learning backgrounds are welcome. A forest-ecology option includes work at Black Rock Forest. The annual salary is $72,116, with a one-time $12,000 research allowance and $1,500 relocation support. Expected starts fall in autumn 2027 or spring 2028. Recommendation letters are due 13 November 2026.

Cary Institute lecture with environmental historian Stephen Pyne (professor emeritus, Arizona State University) in conversation with Cary forest ecologist Winslow Hansen, on humanity's evolving relationship with fire, why destructive megafires have increased, the role of climate and land-use decisions, and pathways toward restoring ecological fire balance.

Jess Enright, Chris Skinner and Erica Thompson explore role-playing and board-game approaches to understanding mathematical models. Examples connect climate, disease spread and water movement with the limitations of simplified representations. The conversation asks how entering a model’s imagined world can communicate research and help researchers reflect on what their assumptions include or leave out.

Erik Joner discusses soil ecosystems and their roles in food production, decomposition, water quality and climate. Conversation in Norwegian.

Climate change is one of our generation's greatest challenges, with increasingly severe consequences on global ecosystems and populations. Machine Learning has the potential to address many important challenges in climate change, from both mitigation (reducing its extent) and adaptation (preparing for unavoidable consequences) aspects. To present the extent of these opportunities, I will describe some of the projects that I am involved in, spanning from generative model to computer vision and natural language processing. There are many opportunities for fundamental innovation in this field, ad

Bjørn H. Samset explains the physical processes that shape climate and how greenhouse-gas emissions affect them. Conversation in Norwegian.
