Humankind has long had a fascination with living and moving underground. It’s not surprising, perhaps, since early humans lived in caves and dugouts before they learned to cooperate and construct free-standing shelters. Perhaps this ancestral experience has left its mark on our imaginations. Dante, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Lewis Carroll, CS Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien: […]

Anthropogenic climate change and our response to it continue to remain near the top of the agenda in terms of global problems that humanity must tackle.
