REEF RESILIENCE• 3 min read
An illustrative nursery programme says heat-tolerant coral fragments survive about three times as often as ordinary ones. We examine how it works and what could still go wrong.
GREAT GREEN BELT• 4 min read
In an illustrative dryland scenario, tree belts and farmer-managed regeneration help eleven districts harvest their first grain surplus. We look at how, and what could break it.

An illustrative Rift Valley utility adds geothermal wells until they supply about 96 percent of its domestic grid in a trial quarter. We explain the technology and its limits.
OCEAN RECOVERY• 3 min read
An illustrative monitoring team at a restored reef site records its highest coral larvae settlement in thirty years. We explain how it is measured and why one season is not a trend.
CLEAN ENERGY• 3 min read
An illustrative research drill reaches ten kilometres into superheated rock. We explain why such heat could one day power cities and why engineering this deep is so hard.
