Climate and Energy in Africa: What We're Getting WrongVia the SDGs and COP, the world is committed to tackling the big global crises of poverty and climate change. But the policies for fostering net zero emissions, universal access to energy, and full employment are confused when it comes to Africa, a region that will soon be home to ...
Using proxies to assess anthropogenic effects on under-monitored equatorial Pacific reefsCoral reefs are struggling as anthropogenic warming fuels an increase in the frequency and intensity of Marine Heat Waves, causing widespread bleaching and coral death. Yet some reefs, including those in the bullseye of El Niño’s impact, endure. Uncovering their secret could shed critical new light on the mechanisms by ...

Getting information from quantum black holesBlack holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, which makes them interesting for theorists trying to understand how the foundational theories of physics - quantum mechanics and general relativity - work together. I’ll describe recent progress on this problem, driven by looking at black holes through the lens ...
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with anthropogenic emissions serving as a key contributor to climate change. In the oil and gas sector, “super-emitters†are a relatively small number of methane sources that are disproportionately responsible for a large fraction of total methane emissions. However, advances in remote sensing technologies ...
