“To guarantee 100 percent emissions reductions from renewable energy, power consumption needs to be matched with renewable generation on an hourly basis,” Sally Benson says.

“This fault was what we call critically stressed – only a small change in conditions could cause that fault to move, which is ultimately what happened,” says Bill Ellsworth in the context of the 2017 Pohang earthquake.

The fear of political suicide should not paralyze those in power from studying the how, where and why of managed retreat, says Katharine Mach.

Research by Adam Brandt that found the carbon intensity of oil production per barrel or equivalent varied widely by source countries is cited in an article about the future of oil and gas production.

Geophysicist Greg Beroza comments on what scientists are speculating could be shifts in the Earth’s crust due to large amounts of melting ice.

Rob Jackson offers his perspective on recent research: “I get uneasy when we start talking about managing billions of extra acres of land, with one goal in mind: to store carbon.”

Chris Field comments on a study, saying the calculations make sense, "but the question of whether it is actually feasible to restore this much forest is much more difficult.”

Ken Caldeira, courtesy professor of Earth system science, comments on the rise of fossil fuel infrastructure and its impact on global warming.

Winnie Chu, a postdoctoral researcher in Dustin Schroeder's Radio Glaciology research group, discusses her work using ice-penetrating radar to pinpoint 56 previously unknown lakes.

At minute 6:15 of this video, Rob Jackson discusses North America’s crude oil boom with a look at challenges faced by producers in West Texas and New Mexico.

"All of these approaches are a distraction compared to actual emission reductions," says Rob Jackson. "As chair of the Global Carbon Project, I’m well versed in rising emissions and the need for drastic cuts."

Rob Jackson contributes knowledge about carbon dioxide and methane and their impacts on the atmosphere in this explainer piece on global warming.

Research by Gabrielle Wong-Parodi shows many schools can “meet up to 75% of their electricity needs and reduce the education sector’s carbon footprint by as much as 28%” by using viable space for solar panels.

"Slowing down and working with your hands and being connected to the earth in that way is very important," says farm volunteer Mark Ferguson. "It's easy to forget that nature is all around us."

"There's an ad hoc retreat happening in the world around us," says Stanford Earth's Katharine Mach – and it's a matter of time before the pressures toward retreat will mount from all directions.
