Using
spatial correlation functions to
quantify the differences between emergent cell lineage segregation
patterns, we find that strong adhesion often, but not always, maximizes the size of clonal cell clusters on flat surfaces.
Examples include exploring relationships between past global climatic events and global
spatial patterns of violence and food trade; using betting markets to forecast the cost of climate policy;
quantifying the climatic drivers of recent fishery collapse; and studying the long - term dynamics of historical clean energy transitions.
