Holobiontic Earth

Research

Metabolic Cybernetics & Planetary Symbiosis

Research

We study Earth as a living, distributed intelligence. Our research spans microbial networks, planetary feedback loops, and the infrastructures that mediate shared survival across species.

Symbiotic Computation

Symbiotic Computation

Co-processing energy, information, and care across species.

Read More

We investigate how microbes, plants, and infrastructures co-compute environmental signals. The goal is to model symbiotic intelligence as a distributed, metabolic computation.

Ecological Sensing

Ecological Sensing

Low-impact instruments for long-horizon observation.

Read More

We design sensing arrays that read microbial, soil, and atmospheric dynamics without disturbing local ecologies, prioritizing slow data and contextual stewardship.

Active
Duration: 2023–2026
Funding: Symbiocene Initiative
Team: Field Nodes, Urban Ecology Studio
Planetary Interfaces

Planetary Interfaces

Visualizing Earth-system feedback in real time.

Read More

We build live interfaces that surface biospheric feedback loops, creating public dashboards that reveal planetary metabolism and its thresholds.

Exploratory
Duration: 2025
Team: Interface Lab, Civic Partners
Regenerative Materials

Regenerative Materials

Living composites for adaptive infrastructure.

Read More

From mycelial scaffolds to bio-reactive textiles, we prototype materials that respond to environmental signals and repair themselves over time.

Active
Duration: 2022–2025
Team: Biofabrication Lab
Interspecies Signal Translation

Interspecies Signal Translation

Decoding chemical languages between organisms.

Read More

We map plant, fungal, and insect chemical signaling using ML to identify patterns that reveal cooperative behaviors and ecological stress.

Active
Duration: 2024–2026
Team: Neuroecology Group
Governance for Symbiosis

Governance for Symbiosis

Protocols and rituals for shared planetary stewardship.

Read More

We co-design policy frameworks that translate ecological signals into civic protocols, enabling anticipatory governance for multi-species futures.

Exploratory
Duration: 2025–2027
Team: Policy Studio, Legal Research Unit

Ecosystems

Ecosystems in Focus

We work across diverse habitats to understand symbiotic coordination and resilience.

  • Riparian systems: microbial, plant, and animal co-evolution along river networks.
  • Urban ecologies: multi-species collaboration in shared human spaces.
  • Soil intelligence: subterranean networks, fungi, and nutrient exchange.
  • Coastal margins: adaptive interfaces between land, sea, and atmospheric flows.
