Jake W. Casselman — Climate Scientist, Founder, Writer

Climate scientist, founder, and writer. I find the hidden structure underneath things that look like noise — in climate systems, energy infrastructure, and how society uses scientific knowledge. Ph.D. ETH Zurich. Postdoc UH Mānoa. Co-founder & CEO, ClimaLinks AG.

I find the hidden structure underneath things that look like noise — in climate systems, in energy infrastructure, in how society uses scientific knowledge.

Postdoctoral researcher, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Co-founder & CEO, ClimaLinks AG. Ph.D., ETH Zurich.

One point of view. Three domains, one instinct. Finding the signal in variable systems — and turning it into something that holds.

Building — ClimaLinks & co. A Zurich climate-intelligence company, a live consumer weather app, and a geospatial data layer for infrastructure. The scientific instinct made operational.

Science. ENSO teleconnections, seasonal predictability, and the refrigeration physics that shape real cooling demand under a variable climate. With work accepted at Nature Communications and under review at Nature Climate Change.

Thinking — A Renaissance of Thought. A weekly essay series on AI, consciousness, scientific identity, and how ideas propagate through society. What the machine makes possible — and what it costs.

About. I'm a Canadian scientist based in Honolulu. My PhD is from ETH Zürich — seven years working on how large-scale climate patterns reach places they statistically shouldn't. That same instinct drove me to build ClimaLinks and to write publicly about what AI is doing to the conditions for human thought. The research, the company, and the essays are the same question asked three different ways.

Currently: ENSO teleconnections and cooling-demand physics in the research; A Renaissance of Thought in the writing; and climate intelligence for weather-driven decisions at ClimaLinks.
