Beyond ‘doing both’—framing carbon removal carefully
There is a common framing in communications about carbon dioxide removal (CDR) which amounts to saying ‘we need to do both’ CDR and emissions reductions, but without explaining further what this means or how to achieve it. This leaves the impression that such framing is empty and performative…

Thermodynamically primed Atmospheric River Rapid as the driver of the December 2023 Thoothukudi extreme rainfall
The December 2023 extreme rainfall over Thoothukudi, India (946 mm in 24 h), represents a pronounced precipitation efficiency anomaly, as such intensity occurred in the absence of a synoptic-scale cyclonic storm and exceeded rates explainable by resolved large-scale ascent. This study introduces a…

A novel methodology to characterize the potential impacts of electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement on juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) includes a branch of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) methods that add alkalinity to the surface ocean, leveraging the ocean's vast natural ability to capture and store atmospheric CO2. The impact of OAE on marine ecosystems will depend on the type and…

Beyond technocracy: why local knowledge is the cornerstone of climate adaptation in conflict-affected cities
Climate adaptation scholarship and practice are often shaped by technocratic approaches that prioritize engineered solutions, quantitative risk modeling, and centralized planning. While such approaches can be effective in stable institutional contexts, they are frequently ill-suited to…
