This is a link post. The following text presents a condensed summary of "The state of global catastrophic risk research: a bibliometric review" by Jehn et al. (2025), published in Earth System Dynamics. The paper represents the first systematic bibliometric analysis of global catastrophic risk (GCR) and existential risk (ER) literature, examining a large number of documents to map the field's development, identify research clusters, and assess current challenges. The full paper includes extensive supplementary materials, detailed methodological descriptions, and over 280 references and can be found here (open access): https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/1053/2025/ Visual Abstract Introduction The field of global catastrophic risk (GCR) and existential risk (ER) research has grown considerably over the past two decades, evolving from a nascent area of study into an established research domain. This first systematic bibliometric analysis of the GCR/ER literature examines all large number documents to understand how the field has developed, what topics [...] ---Outline:(00:52) Visual Abstract(01:23) Introduction(02:23) Growth and Development of the Field(03:40) Research Clusters and Their Interconnections(05:35) Geographic and Demographic Patterns(06:41) Gaps and Future Directions(07:52) Implications and Recommendations--- First published: July 22nd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/vfmsi9SNAyPSZF2ys/the-state-of-global-catastrophic-risk-research Linkpost URL:https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/1053/2025/esd-16-1053-2025.html --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
