YES. I am PhD in Environmental Engineering, Law and Management (c) and Dean of Gujarat Technological University India. Let me know how to go ahead.

I am interested in following areas:

• Availability of clean drinking water
• Re usability and treatment of water

I am keen on collaborating. My expertise includes:

- Sustainable agriculture

- Reduction of carbon emissions

- Renewable energy systems

- Renewable energy in developing countries

Additionally, economic, social and environmental analyses of cases. Also, differentiate the macroeconomics (impact on the economy) and the microeconomics perspective (opportunities for businesses, investors).

Great guys! Thanks for your responses. Please follow me back on this site so I can add the two of you as collaborators. We want to get as many researchers in on this as possible. Thanks!

Jup. very interested! Already followed the sites

Yes would be. Am working on the past climatic changes and have now started working on the arsenic contamination in Uttarakhand state of India. I could help at two places: (1) Clean drinking water (2) Organizing healthcare in north Indian states.

I am interested. My major on bachelor studies was agricultural economics. My PhD was about regional and rural development. It is essentially connected with sustainable agriculture.

Still, have no idea for our direction related to this project, but open for suggestions.

Hi, and yes!

I´m a forestry engineer, with wide experience in safety and emergency management. My areas would be:

• Natural hazard risk assessment
• Natural hazard remediation

Yes and thank you for your initiative. I am an engineer with an MPH. this sounds like an exciting project

Hi, please count on me... my expertise:

-Availability of clean drinking water

-Reusability and treatment of water

-Renewable energy in developing countries

Thanks to everyone who has responded already! This is quickly taking off and I am so thrilled to see so many interested intelligent individuals! All of you will prove to be strong assets in this endeavor.

*** If you would like me to add you to the project as a collaborator, you must follow me on ResearchGate first. ***

Here's a bit about myself: I recieved my bachelors from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2016 with summa cum laude in Earth and Planetary Sciences. I have since then been a renewable energy technician and an online teacher/tutor. My current research I preform independnetly (and publish on this site), and includes a wide range of sustainable systems personal projects as well as theoretical work into the feasbility of inducing the habitability of Earth-sized terrestrial bodies. Besides this, I am currently traveling the world with my girlfriend while teaching and tutoring English and STEM subjects online.

As for the project direction so far:

The overall plan for this project is very open and most of it will be conducted directly through ResearchGate or e-mail. Here we can message eachother, work on individual project updates, and collaborate with ideas and materials.

I believe the full direction and scope of this project has yet to bloom, and we do not fully understand what the eventual outcome may be.

I envision the creation of unpublished papers, ideas, and materials, that would be reviewed by this team in a collaborative process, advancing and developing solutions to these answers through this site. Eventually, I guess, we could publish review articles in peer reviewed journals, and maybe eventually receive funding to continue this endeavor. Although, at the moment, the goal is simply to provide what you can to this project during your free time, and not in the search of funds.

Overall, I think we are far from attaining such a goal of publishing anything worthy toward the globally focused goals of this project. I think these problems being addressed still need significant brainstorming and collaborative assessment for any real conclusions to be met. I hope we will tackle these bit-by-bit, and that is why I believe we need to use multidisciplinary collaborative efforts to get the ball rolling.

Since you all are the first people to join in on the collaboration, I would love to invite you all to provide as many ideas that you see as a potential way to move this massive undertaking forward. We can vote on such ideas using an online polling interface maybe? I am sure your schedules are very busy, so if this doesn't sound right for you, don't feel obligated in any way. I am looking forward to working with all of you.

Cheers,

Yes,

I´m interested in the issue organizing healthcare in developing countries, I´ve been working on multidimensional indicators in health.

YES I AM INTERESTED TO WORK IN

• Sustainable agriculture

Architecturally trained in the 60s and this project is close to my own aspirations.

This sounds interesting, and I'd love to contribute, if possible.

I'm currently working on my PhD in sustainable agriculture, but my MS was more geared towards natural hazards risk assessment (carbon storage issues), and I have experience in labs that treated water.

I' am living in Mozambique a country extraordinary affected by climate Change eventSS ostly droughts and flloods .being a lecture I am interested in your methodology so that ii can participate

Yes! It sounds very interesting...

I am a university professor at a university in the southmost State of Brazil, with degrees in Civil Engineering and Agronomy and a PhD in Environmental Comfort (Sheffield, UK, 1987). For more than 20 years I have been working with sustainability issues, initially at the scale of construction materials, up to the scale of whole municipalities, including both urban and rural issues, on a systemic approach.

In the last 10 years, our research group on Sustainable Buildings and Communities have been working with a small municipality, with about 13000 inhabitants and 96 km2 of area. Several students, both undergraduate and postgraduate (nearly MScs, but also a PhD), with a civil engineering or architecture background, have been developing studies on this municipality, trying to better understand the dinamics that make it so successfull in terms of results (in 1998 it was ranked first in HDI, among more 5600 Brazilian municipalities), so that guidelines could established to orientate other small municipalities in Brazil.

About two weeks ago we had the Viva Examination of a MSc student that finished the 3rd study on Urban Agriculture on this community. Other MSc studies were developed on the same municipality on water quality and proposals on non conventional water treatment plants; construction and demolition waste treatment; urban metabolism (PhD); urban mobility; renewable energy; land use; urban morphology;...

Cheers,

hello

Yes I Am Interested To Work In

• Renewable energy systems

regards

Yes.

I am an environmental engineering master's student and my bachelor is industrial chemistry.

I am currently working on my master degree research in the field of wastewater treatment and I worked at pharmaceutical factory's chemical lab.

I am interested in clean water, renewable energy and health care.

YES.

I AM A DOCTORAL STUDENT ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

I AM INTERESTED IN CLEAN WATER, HEALTH CARE AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Yes i am interested. I have expertise in pasture management, agroforestry and sustainable agriculture. I have done PhD in Grassland Science and working as Senior Scientifc Officer at Pakistan Agricultural Research Council Islamabad.

Yes! It sounds very interesting...

I've been taken with the idea of a linear city since the 70s when it was at the forefront of architectural thought. Since then I have researched sustainable farming and permaculture and was actively involved in the creation of a small community garden in Lismore New South Wales (Australia) in the 90s with Hogan Gleeson and Andrew Bodlovich who have since developed Blue Smart Farms- a combination of fish and food production in an urban environment.

Here in northern NSW we also have Seed Savers in Byron Bay (Michelle and Jude Fanton).and Permaculture originated at Tyalgum where co-creator the late Bill Mollison established his farm, Robyn Francis also at this time created Djanbung gardens Permaculture Centre in nearby Nimbin and The Permaculture Institute, Lismore, is a local institution.

Working at grass-roots level is a good way to start. Not until you get your hands dirty can you understand which way to go. The first steps are the hardest. It will be interesting. Don't forget that social structures/relationships are crucial. Campfires, music and food are good for forming cohesion in this type of community development should be borne in mind.

How about the idea of a linear city linking two or more major centres as a beginning. Alternatively should we start with one central green space and form concentrically? People really do need time to absorb concepts and generate enthusiasm, as Graeme Dunstan, the 70s peace activist, and co-founder of the 1973 Aquarius Festival pointed out to me.

These are just a few of the locals in my area that may be perhaps persuaded to contribute ideas both of the physical and the metaphysical structure.

In the northern Rivers area of NSW we have many small co-operative communities and there really is a lot of expertise, both of the 'do's' and the 'don'ts' variety

Sure, sign me up. I am studying Absolute Sustainability, and Sustainability Engineering. The first is finding how a community can maintain a non-declining quality of life using the biocapaicty of the landmass it manages, in perpetuity. The second seeks to maximize social benefit while minimizing negative ecological impacts. I don't use indicators in my design, but rather units of measure and the relationships between them.

yes

I´m working in:

-Environmental health in Colombia

I would like to be part of this project, please

I have a major in Chemical Engineering and I am currently taking my masters in Earth Resources and Environmental Science

Looks very interesting and effective project. I am a geologist working for the last 35 years and now working in the fields of neotectonics, earthquake geology, geological remote sensing, geoarchaeology etc. Did my PhD on neotectonic signature detection in northern Bengal Basin in Bangladesh using different remote sensing data. Result of the research, among others, explained the relationship between geology and natural hazards. I will be happy if I could contribute a little to the project.

• Yes! It very interesting to me..!
• because the idea of the project contains all disciplines to achieve one great goal i.e Sustainable planet
• so I'm working in the field of forest conservation, protection and Sustainable management for Sustainable development

Yes.

I am interested in working with renewable energy areas. My phD was in energy science.

More progress to come soon in the next update...

Yes. I am interested in sustainable agriculture. I feel in the current world, we remain disconnected with other components of the ecos system. Effect of the agriculture intensification on other animals/birds remain elusive although the studies are very few. ,

I would like to be part of this exciting project.

I am interested in bio--energy and currently working on conversion of biomass (timber processing industrial waste) into wood pellet/biofuel. Also, have interest in cultivating tree-borne oil seed crops (in agroforestry practice) for bio-energy as alternative to fossil fuel in developing countries.

Hi Pzazar,

Greetings from India,

It is really great initiative and wish to be part of this. My research interest is mainly focused on investigating the climate change impacts on glacier, geo-morphodynamics and geo-hazards over the longer temporal scale covering Quaternary to recent. Specifically, It mainly concentrates on comprehending the response of glacier dynamics to changing climate and resulting contribution to regional water balance and sea level changes; to understand the timing and extent of Quaternary Glaciations in the Himalayan region to reconstruct the Paleoclimate; and to identify the risk of triggering glacial hazards in context to reported climate warming and glacial fluctuation in the Himalaya in order to formulate risk-based adaptation strategies.

It is essentially connected with Glacier, Climate, Water and Society..

Regards,

Pritam

I will go with Dr Sheth for this project

Dear Cole C. Pazar

Yes; we can cooperate.

Especially on the theme of sustainable agriculture and Natural hazard risk assessment related climatic variability or coping mechanism.

I am a researcher in Ethiopian Institutes of Agricultural Research at the department of agricultural economics research. Educational background BA in economics and MSc in agricultural economics. Had been working in the research institutes for the past ten years.

Natural hazard risk management

I'd be very interested in joining. I'm a retired medic and healthcare executive with degrees in natural sciences, business (MBA). I'm a political lobbyist for Greenpeace, and spent much of my spare time in the last 2 years getting up to date with the science and the technology and other solutions to the problem. I've spent 15 years working on my own life, resulting in a halved energy costs for heating, lighting, transport and carbon footprint of 4tCO2 for these (across 2 adults, 3 children).

Yes,

I am interested in working in Natural hazard remediation issue

I'm interested in working in sustainable agriculture, do you have some ideas?

Still interested.

The nine bullet-point headings are a good start, but we also need communications and transport as another major heading, as these are a primary consumer of energy.

Should we divide the world into regions, and design systems to suit each; versus taking specific-interest subjects and allocate/ invite participation by individuals?

Perhaps the first thing to do is to start a dialogue and invite people to submit specific urgent problems for a group think-tank solution.

From this I see our first priority is organising ourselves, establishing systems versus /hit the ground running with good ideas generating momentum and enthusiasm.

Where do we go from here? Hit us with some positives and possibilities. Make them as wild as you wish.

What about politics too, social organisation? Community development and empowement.

yes i am interested in

• Sustainable agriculture
• Reduction of carbon emissions
• Natural hazard risk assessment
• Organizing healthcare in developing countries
