A whole atmosphere
of questions.
Eleven connected fields. Each starts with a physical question, a set of papers and tools that make the next step concrete.

24 papersFrom mechanism to outcome.
Every field contains different kinds of evidence. The label on a library record describes our review scope; it is not an efficacy score.
Physical mechanism
A force, growth process or optical relationship can be calculated or observed in a controlled setting. That supplies a hypothesis for an intervention.
MechanismControlled experiment
A defined treatment, comparator and endpoint can identify an effect under the tested conditions. Its uncertainty and operating envelope still matter.
LaboratoryOutdoor evidence
Natural variability, advection and imperfect controls make attribution harder. The geometry and time scale of the measured effect must stay attached to the claim.
FieldUseful application
An intervention must meet a site’s spatial, reliability, maintenance and energy requirements. A local positive effect alone does not establish those requirements.
