Idea

Many scientific and engineering methodologies must be deployed to save the planet. One goal of the Azimuth Project is to make these easier to learn, by presenting simple explanations, and links for further study, in a central location.

Other methodology

• The Discount rate is for comparing the value or cost of events occuring immediately with later events.

• Goodhart's law concerns performance indicators subject to control.

• The Jevons paradox occurs when increasing the efficiency increases consumption. It is an extreme version of the Rebound effect.

• Nonlinear science: chaos, self-organization, and more.

• Pareto front: for decision-making.

• Ecological footprint: a measure of mankind’s pressure on the earth’s resources.

• Risk management: how to identify, assess and prioritize risks.

• Virtual potential temperature: a concept in atmospheric science.
