At Neuromatch Academy & Climatematch Academy, we’re not just running courses. Neuromatch is investing in the next generation of computational scientists, changemakers, & interdisciplinary thinkers.

As part of this mission, we offer Professional Development sessions that give our students & TAs real-world tools and insight before the coursework begins.

I used to think actuaries would cause the insurance business to speak loudly about Climate, and that in turn would cause Government to see that the problem was not imagined because real dollars were at stake.

But gerrymandering insurability is not a form of awareness, it's a form of denial. It's Martin Niemöller's "First They Came..." poem, played out along the Climate axis.

CNBCJPMorgan hired NOAA's chief scientist to advise clients on navigating climate changeLast year, JPMorgan hired Sarah Kapnick as the bank's chief climate scientist. She's now advising clients on how climate change will impact their investments.

Trees near volcanoes signal eruptions by turning greener due to CO2 absorption from rising magma, which NASA satellites detect, offering early warnings. This system could protect 10% of Earth’s population living near volcanoes. In 2018, it evacuated 56,000 people in the Philippines safely before an eruption. Trees hold the key to disaster prevention!

US faces another summer of extreme heat, as Trump cuts services for dealing with the heat.

Meanwhile:

“A 2024 study found that the number of heat-related deaths in the US have risen 117% since 1999.

For vulnerable populations, such as migrants, prisoners or schoolchildren in under-cooled buildings, the burden of rising temperatures is compounded.”

Exploring the risks of ‘cascading’ tipping points in a warming world

Tipping elements within the Earth system are increasingly well understood.

Scientists have identified more than 25 parts of the Earth’s #climate system that are likely to have #TippingPoints – thresholds where a small additional change in global warming will cause them to irreversibly shift into a new state.

The “tipping” of these systems – which include the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC), the #Amazon #rainforest and the #Greenland ice sheet – would have profound consequences for both the #biosphere and people.

More recent research suggests that triggering one tipping element could cause subsequent changes in other tipping elements, potentially leading to a #TippingCascade.

For example, a collapsed AMOC could lead to dieback of the Amazon rainforest and hasten the melt of the Greenland ice sheet.

However, the interactions between individual tipping elements – and the ways they might trigger each other – remain largely underexplored.

In a review study, published last year in Earth System Dynamics, we unpack the current state of scientific understanding of the interactions between individual tipping elements.

We find that scientific literature suggests the majority of interactions between tipping elements will lead to further destabilisation of the climate system.

Existing research also indicates that “tipping cascades” could occur even under current #GlobalWarming projections.

Scientific understanding of individual #TippingElements is continuously improving, but more research on their interactions is needed.
