Cascade Climate is an independent, nonprofit field-building NGO whose mission is to dramatically accelerate progress across a range of open-system climate interventions.

Pitch a Role / General Opportunities

<div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Join Cascade Climate, a new global nonprofit accelerating progress in interventions, technologies, and markets that harness earth’s natural systems to stabilize our climate. Since our launch last summer we have assembled a stellar founding team, and lined up large initial investments from philanthropic backers including the Grantham Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. After kicking off our first set of field-building initiatives in enhanced rock weathering (ERW), Cascade is starting to expand into a broader set of open-system climate intervention pathways. In 2024, we are excited to begin working on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) pathways–ocean alkalinity enhancement and direct ocean removal in particular.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We are looking for an Ocean Scientist to help us build out our in-house technical expertise in the marine realm; help establish and foster relationships with a network of collaborators and partners across mCDR; and help lead a range of Cascade’s initial mCDR programmatic initiatives.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’d love to hire an ocean scientist who is both well-versed in the (bio)geochemistry or physical oceanography underpinning mCDR pathways and a versatile relationship builder and big-picture thinker. This role will put you in an unusually high-leverage position to help advance mCDR knowledge creation and field development holistically—and yet is not a research role per se. The day-to-day responsibilities in this role will involve heavy doses of relationship building, deep listening and stakeholder management—across academia, industry, NGO partners, and more. The role will also involve a great deal of zoomed-out thinking and programmatic strategy development. We are looking for someone who can structure, diagnose and distill complex problems and chart a path forward.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We hope this is an exciting fusion for someone who sees themselves as a scientist, a stakeholder communicator, and a strategic thinker. In addition, you will be joining Cascade at a pivotal time when you can shape our most important programs and our broader strategy to accelerate progress across open-system CDR pathways—from advancing the science of CDR quantification and developing a community system for rigor and consistency in MRV, to developing frameworks for environmental risk analysis, to federal policy advocacy.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We care as much about you—your character and mindsets—as we do about your scientific training and background. Do you consistently show up with humility and contagious curiosity? Do you love to build new relationships and work with lots of collaborators? Do you independently learn new things quickly and eagerly? Can you operate without a fully-developed roadmap that’s been handed to you—tackling ambiguous problems and imposing your own structured plan? </span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:11pt;">About Cascade</b></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Cascade coordinates and resources ambitious initiatives across scientists, industry, and governments to overcome the core bottlenecks that are hindering progress in the most promising open-system climate interventions. As a species we are already—unintentionally and haphazardly—manipulating Earth’s climate system in ways that produce disastrous consequences for ourselves and the biosphere. Decarbonization must be our top priority but on its own cannot solve the climate emergency. We must embrace the need to harness Earth’s natural systems in the service of avoiding deeper harm. This will mean intervening in soils, rivers, oceans, glaciers and more—but doing so with great deliberation and care.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Our initial focus is advancing the development of a healthy market for enhanced rock weathering (ERW), underpinned by its scientific evidence base and its potential for gigaton-scale, durable carbon dioxide removal. As commercial activity in ERW ramps up, it is essential that we collectively steer toward a healthy, virtuous market cycle wherein large-scale deployments become a powerful engine for public scientific learning and growing public trust, along with declining uncertainties and costs. Over the course of 2024, we are looking to expand into mCDR as mCDR gradually shifts into progressively larger field research and deployment scales.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">For more context, you can read our </span><a href="https://cascadeclimate.org/foundations-for-a-healthy-erw-market-cycle" style="font-size:11pt;">blog post</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> about the outlook for the ERW market or our broader thoughts on </span><a href="https://greatunwind.substack.com/p/leveling-the-playing-field-for-open" style="font-size:11pt;">leveling the playing field</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> for open-system carbon dioxide removal.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">In the coming 3-6 months, you will be the science lead driving our stakeholder listening tours and strategic bottleneck diagnosis process as we expand in the mCDR space.

Specifically, the fellow will calculate the fishmeal production potential from fisheries in 1-2 geographies (potentially the California Current, Humboldt Current, and/or the North Atlantic), and calculate the potential protein and micronutrient yield of aquaculture species portfolios reflecting different management goals (e.g., maximize protein, maximize specific nutrients, maximize profit). This analysis would be integrated with ongoing modeling of the carbon sequestration potential of mesopelagic species, to enable a trade-off analysis. The fellow will determine the optimum level of harvest of mesopelagic species in each geography that could support food security provisioning and minimize disruption of carbon sequestration. This model and trade-off analysis will be developed into one or more academic journal articles, as well as policy briefs and communication materials to share with national and international fishery management bodies, industry representatives, and climate leaders. </p><p> </p><p>The fellow will work with Dr. Julia Mason, Social-ecological Systems Scientist and Dr. Mattias Cape, Marine Biogeochemical Scientist at EDF, and Dr. Eugene Won, a fish biologist and aquaculture specialist at Cornell University.
