Along the Southern Andes, most glaciers exist on isolated volcanoes. Little studied to date, our research shows they may be important water reservoirs for the region doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

Great piece and I agree 95%. I firmly believe that, by enabling genuine intellectual leadership from Global South researchers, we will produce innovative global-scale knowledge while working collaboratively across regions, cross-pollinating our perspectives and experiences: doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Neither climate laboratory nor knowledge vacuum: What’s at stake for the Global South in the debate around solar geoengineering research
Recently, I sat in a room in Cape Town with African climate scientists, watching them present results from sophisticated models examining how solar geoengineering interventions might affect local weat...
