• solar power efficiency
  What are the factors that are important in efficiently harvesting solar power - we look at what they are..
• Special Interest Groups

• Sea Level: The Geological “Control Knob” for Atmospheric CO2?
  Guest “putting 2 and 2 together” by David Middleton This post is the nucleus of a hypothesis I’ve been trying to develop. It is a “work in progress” and not…
• Thailand’s amazing Vivarium is part restaurant, part terrarium
  Hypothesis took the idea of a terrarium and applied it to the design of the restaurant. Hanging plants create a lush greenscape that dominates the upper volume of the double height space. Ceramic follies, designed by Yarnnakarn Art and Craft Studio, contrast...
• The Vivarium is a renovated industrial warehouse in Thailand turned into a terrarium-like restaurant
  Hypothesis took the idea of a terrarium and applied it to the design of the restaurant. Hanging plants create a lush greenscape that dominates the upper volume of the double height space. Ceramic follies, designed by Yarnnakarn Art and Craft Studio, contrast...
• Can We Actually Even Tell if Humans Are Affecting the Climate? What if we did nothing at all?
  Essay by Charlie Martin We know, with great certainty, that the overall average temperature of the Earth has warmed by several degreees in the last 400 years, since the end of the Little Ice Age...
