ANIMATION | Doing research differently
MoreAn animation produced by Jonny Lawrence, this video sets out how Agile are doing things differently, covering interdisciplinarity, co-creation, and equality impact assessments.
-
PODCAST | Managing the future of critical minerals in the UK
MoreListen to this episode from an Agile science-to-policy project to explore not just the economics or geopolitics of these materials, but the deeper human stories, political tensions, and competing visions of the future that surround them.

Combate aos incendios florestais na Amazonia / Combating forest fires in the Amazon
MoreThe guide aims to support institutional and volunteer firefighters in battling blazes in rainforests that—until a few decades ago—did not burn, but now face the threat of fire due to climate change. (Language: Portuguese)
Associated Sprint: How can we fireproof the Amazon?

PRE-PRINT | Anderson Acceleration Can Ease Reliable Model Calibration
MoreIn this pre-print, the authors tackle the computational bottlenecks of calibrating global marine biogeochemical models by combining a fixed-point iteration spin-up scheme with an efficient offline ocean model and calibration algorithm, achieving roughly ten times faster spin-up and calibration.
Associated Sprint: Can we solve the “spin-up” problem in Earth System Modelling?
Associated SDGs: 13 Climate action

PRE-PRINT | A warm stagnant ocean leads to deep-ocean deoxygenation without widespread anoxia
MoreIn this pre-print, authors use Miocene Climatic Optimum simulations (ACCESS-ESM1.5) to show that cold initial conditions at higher pCO2 drive a stable ocean stratification, and find, via Anderson Acceleration-equilibrated biogeochemistry, no large-scale deep anoxia or hypoxia.

VIDEO | A vital approach for retaining water
MoreIn this preview clip from an upcoming Sprint video, Dan West from the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust highlights the critical importance of cross-catchment water management, which is a vital approach for both natural flood defence and its flip side: retaining water during severe droughts.
Associated Sprint: How can we deliver effective, equitable and place-based environmental governance?
Associated SDGs: 11 Sustainable cities and communities, 13 Climate action, 15 Life on land, 16 Peace, justice and strong institutions, 17 Partnerships for the goals, 2 Zero hunger
