Planetary risk management —
from black holes to blue carbon.

Scroll to descendResearch · Early-universe physics
An open lab notebook on numerical relativity. Could asteroid-mass primordial black holes — formed in an early matter-dominated era — be the dark matter? The central quantity is the collapse threshold: how strong a curvature peak must be to become a black hole before the dust era ends.

Where is everybody?
Past the threshold of autonomous AI-cosmoindustry, interstellar expansion becomes too cheap and useful to refuse — but it would be quiet: small probes, archives and seed systems, not galactic empires. Old civilizations that crossed it probably never arose within reach of us.
Space governance · UN COPUOS
What delegations said at the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Every written statement from the Committee’s annual sessions, distilled into key messages and linked to the delivered text — so you can open a session or follow how the conversation shifts year to year.

Everything we launch has to fit inside a rocket fairing. MorphoECHO takes another path: identical modules launched loose — no engines, no central control — assemble telescope mirrors and station frames in orbit, repair themselves and change shape on command.

Mission
To contribute to life thriving on Earth through planetary risk management — sharing knowledge, and initiating lighthouse projects that lead to a safer, freer and more sustainable future for humanity and nature.
Bird’s-eye · the coast
Blue carbon · Mangroves
Mangrove restoration. Made investable.
Community-led mangrove restoration, financed as an asset. Projects on degraded coasts in Kenya, Indonesia, Brazil, Myanmar and Senegal — mapped with satellites and AI, monitored with eDNA, with carbon revenue shared down to the household.
Carbon removal · Peatlands
Restoring nature, removing carbon.
Rewetting drained peatlands to stop emissions and peat fires: measuring carbon stocks and greenhouse-gas fluxes, and certifying projects for carbon markets — from Perm Krai to Mongolia, plus biochar in Pakistan.
Marine biodiversity · Natural capital
Marine natural capital, rated.
The world has agreed to protect 30% of marine and coastal areas by 2030 — today about 10% is, and barely 1% has had its management assessed. MAAP grades the marine natural capital of 192 nations and territories from AAA to C; MRV scores what protection actually delivers for marine biodiversity, site by site.
Teaching · HEC Lausanne
Invited Professor at HEC Lausanne, University of Lausanne — teaching distributed ledgers in the MSc in Finance: consensus, smart contracts, stablecoins and DeFi, tokenization, DAOs — and digital carbon markets.
Shemeti · on the Kama · Perm Krai
Founded, co-founded and organised — for students from age 12 to postgraduate.
Founder · since 2011
An annual meeting of students, academics and practitioners on what comes next in finance, technology and the environment. 2026: “World in the Era of Singularity and Global Rivalry” — AI in markets, digital currencies, carbon markets and climate risk.
permwinterschool.ruAstrophysics · ages 12–18
Three days on the bank of the Kama for up to 25 school students: lectures by astrophysicists — among them Sergei Popov on neutron stars and black holes — and mentored team projects in astrophysics, astrobiology and space art.
