MultiSectorDynamics seeks to advance scientific understanding of the complex interactions, interdependencies, and co-evolutionary pathways of human and natural systems, including interdependencies among sectors and infrastructures. This includes advancing relevant socio-economic, risk analysis, and complex decision theory methods to lead insights into earth system science, while emphasizing the development of interoperable data, modeling, and analysis tools for integration within flexible modeling frameworks.

Scientific insights and tools emerging from MultiSector Dynamics hold significant potential to inform next-generation U.S. infrastructure and new development pathways for improved energy and economic security, including implications of and for technological and systems innovations.


There is a particular emphasis on understanding the energy-water-land nexus under both realistic and idealized forcing scenarios, including the evaluation of scale-aware processes and probabilistic uncertainties that can lead to instability through thresholds and tipping points.


Besides the focus to understand the system dynamics governing interdependencies within the natural-human system, this area seeks to advance scientists' understanding of system nonlinearity and instability associated with multiple stressors that can lead to cascading failures in connected sectors and systems. An important characteristic of nonlinearity and system failure is the probabilistic interdependence near thresholds associated with extreme weather, severe drought, and infrastructure vulnerability. Consequently, MultiSector Dynamics supports the development of interoperable tools and methods for integration with agile, flexible earth system modeling frameworks, revealing a basic understanding of different levels of complexity required to analyze interdependency.

MultiSector Dynamics efforts are necessary to understand the nonlinear science involving natural-human interdependency and feedbacks on the earth system. This program area helps shape fundamental understanding of complex stressors on human systems and infrastructure, vulnerabilities and risks at the energy-water-land nexus, multisector dynamics, and more generally, implications for regional and global economic development in the face of changing weather patterns and extremes, advances in technology, availability of natural resources, and feedbacks to natural systems, including regional and global climates.


The overarching Panel obective is to advance our basic understanding of atmosphere-ocean climate dynamics using observations and models and to determine the role of climate dynamics in shaping climate variability and change on seasonal to centennial time scales. Specific activities will, in the first instance, be organized around three areas


Our mission is to create and make accessible novel data on the dynamics of the labor markets, we work with research networks and statistical agencies, developing appropriate statistics to inform policy makers, researchers, and simply people seeking knowledge. We emphasize and meet the requirements of stakeholders: users as well as providers, balancing the utility of the data with the confidentiality of the people and businesses whose activities the data describe.


The Labor Dynamics Institute goals are trifold. We study and improve labor market outcomes of workers; more generally we improve access to and understanding of data sources for the study of the labor market; and improve the transparency and accessibility of economics research to enhance its credibility.


We investigate effective labor market outcomes for workers. Current projects feature creating, maintaining, and enhancing job search tools with the goal of observing outcomes of such interventions for workers. We are building collaborations with Computer and Data Scientists at both faculty and student level to enhance research into this field. We have examined existing online platforms to understand features and how employers use them. We also advocate advancing changes in employer records at the federal level to enable measurement of outcomes not previously possible..


We seek to improve access to data at multiple levels. Our leadership and affiliates serve on National Academies panels and committees at government agencies in the United States and Canada that are tasked with enabling easier and enhanced access to comprehensive confidential administrative data for research. Our affiliate Erica Groshen is a leading advocate for a U.S. "21st Century National Data Infrastructure." Better data access contributes to our other goals. It enables more comprehensive scrutiny of academic research when data cannot be published, supporting integrity even where transparency is limited.


We house leading practice and research to make economics more transparent and reproducible. LDI's Reproducibility Lab conducts reproducibility verifications for American Economic Association's Data Editor. We coordinate and share expertise with colleagues in economics, sociology, political science, program evaluation, demography, and computer science at Cornell and elsewhere to improve infrastructure, methods, and standards. Our projects also pursue development of new standards and tools to enhance transparency.

To resolve epithelial and immune cell responses over time from SARS-CoV-2 exposure, we conducted a human SARS-CoV-2 challenge study7. In this model, young adults seronegative for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were intranasally inoculated with a wild-type pre-Alpha SARS-CoV-2 virus strain (SARS-CoV-2/human/GBR/484861/2020) in a controlled environment. Before challenge, volunteers underwent extensive screening to exclude risk factors for severe disease and to eliminate confounding effects of comorbidities. As risk mitigation and to maximize physiological relevance, participants were inoculated with the lowest culture-quantifiable inoculum dose of 10 tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID50). There were no serious adverse events and all symptoms were resolved in the participants selected for this single-cell data cohort.


We studied local and systemic immune responses at single-cell resolution in 16 participants. The highly controlled nature of this experimental model enabled baseline measurements on the day before inoculation. This was followed by detailed time series analyses ( ) of cellular responses after inoculation and subsequent infection, both systemically in blood and locally in the nasopharynx, to decipher antiviral responses against SARS-CoV-2 in a precise time-resolved manner.


Seven participants remained PCR-negative throughout the quarantine period, which indicated that these individuals successfully prevented the onset of a sustained or transient infection. Because these participants all remained seronegative but were observed to display early innate immune responses (see below), we termed these abortive infections (as opposed to uninfected owing to, for example, antibody-mediated sterilizing immunity). The achieved infection rate of our model was similar to the infection rate observed in a closed household of unvaccinated individuals11, which indicated that our administered viral dose was physiologically relevant.


Based on the detection of productive viral infections in ciliated and goblet cells, we sought to identify the cells that contributed the most to viral spread. We noted a small but distinct cluster of ciliated cells with an extremely high viral load (Fig. 2f and Extended Data Fig. 2b), in which we detected >1,000 viral RNAs per cell on average. Other infected cells typically contained


Importantly, in contrast to activation or enrichment assays that require in vitro incubation with antigens28,29, our Cell2TCR approach for detecting clonotypes that are activated in a disease of interest is not restricted or biased towards known antigens. Hence, it can be applied to any infection, inflammatory disease or cancer scRNA-seq and V(D)J sequencing dataset to extract paired chains that recognize antigens.


Finally, to optimize the utility of our time-resolved COVID-19 data, we used Gaussian process regression and latent variable models to predict the stage of immune response in 361 COVID-19 samples, which revealed that severe COVID-19 cases exhibit delayed immune responses (Supplementary Note 6). In addition, we provide annotation models for 202 cell states on CellTypist.org ( ) for simplified cell-type identification. We also make our single-cell expression data accessible on COVID19CellAtlas.org ( ) for comprehensive online analysis.


In sustained infections, we also detected large numbers of cells containing viral RNA, including immune cells, but we provided evidence that only epithelial cells support successful viral replication. Here we found that a small subset of hyperinfected ciliated cells becomes anti-inflammatory and a major source of viral production. We provide electron microscopy evidence for large heterogeneity in infection levels across ciliated cells in vitro.


Although our results included matched pre-infection samples and almost all expected cell types from a total of 181 samples from 16 participants, we cannot exclude the possibility that our infection group sizes remained underpowered to detect subtle or time-restricted responses. We also note that neutrophils, which play an important part in COVID-19, are frequently under-represented in microfluidics based scRNA-seq30. This limitation is probably further exacerbated by cryopreservation of samples used within this study. In addition, the participants enrolled in this study cleared the infection with mild symptoms, which means that caution should be taken when extrapolating our findings to patients critically ill with COVID-19.
