Trojan Skeletons in the Climate System: Effective Hamiltonian Structures in Dissipative Ocean-Atmosphere Dynamics

This paper introduces the Trojan Skeleton framework, which provides a mathematical explanation for how coherent structures persist in the dissipative, forced climate system. Despite being driven by irreversible processes like turbulent mixing and radiative transfer, climate subsy...

Spectral Policy: Optimal Climate Strategies When Stability Itself Is a Public Good

This paper introduces a framework for climate policy design that shifts the focus from simply reducing emissions to actively managing the climate system's structural stability. The central argument is that the climate's resonance gap—a measure of its spectral coherence—functions...
