Ice, ice, bees?

When he’s not researching how to protect Arctic sea ice, Jacob Pantling – a PhD student at the Centre for Climate Repair – can sometimes be found tending to a busy brood of bees.

Refreezing the Arctic

Our researchers are part of international teams investigating methods to cool the Earth. Through modelling and controlled, small-scale outdoor experiments, they are assessing a range of climate interventions to build a knowledge-base for informed decision-making.

Removing greenhouse gases

In addition to reducing emissions, there is a need to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide and methane. Our research covers a spectrum of approaches from ecosystem restoration to engineered solutions.

Reducing emissions

Emissions reduction is central to climate mitigation and must include innovations in every sector of society to achieve net-zero emissions. As the world warms, environmental changes - such as increased emissions from wetlands and melting permafrost - alter the earth's ability to manage to greenhouse gas concentrations. There is an urgent need for society to get off fossil fuels and limit deforestation.

Good COP, Bad COP: reflections from COP30

In a panel one Thursday lunchtime, six experts shared their first reflections on COP30 to a packed room of university students, high school students, and members of the local community. Here are some of their reflections.
