There are currently no direct interventions to address climate tipping points such as glacier melt, leaving some critical processes unmitigated. The fundamental science and engineering principles behind emergency climate interventions remain largely untested at relevant scales, limiting our prepared...
Regenerating degraded environments and designing self-sustaining systems require a unified understanding of ecological dynamics. Our current models fall short in predicting complex interactions—such as feedback loops and stability thresholds—that determine ecosystem behavior.
To close this gap, we...
