IRS990/Desc0ResearchOver the course of the first half of 2018, the Drawdown research team updated 88 technical reports and associated models with new data, improved methods, and revised scenarios. In addition, the core Drawdown Reduction and Replacement (RRS) and Land Use models were further developed, and are now in version 1.1d. This version includes improved functionality for regionalization and a new carbon pricing module to further our efforts towards the second research phase of initiating contextual analyses. Current versions of all the Excel-based models were prepared for public release under a free and open source license with the intention of a 2019 release date. In parallel, scoping and initial blueprinting of the open source Drawdown Model Platform was developed with a "brain trust" of IT leaders from around the world. This resulted in the first Drawdown Hackathon in September 2018 that produced a kernel of the new model software program in the computing language Python. The Python implementation of the Drawdown model software continued with the first web-hosted standalone model successfully run in December. Currently, ~25% of the full software package is completed and is on target to be beta launched by end of 2019.The 2018-2019 Drawdown Fellowship program was launched in October with the addition of 12 new Research Fellows from across the globe working on incorporating the latest data for 43 existing solution models, evaluating new solution sets, and beginning work on creating regional electricity generation models for India and Nigeria. The latter analyses are test cases on new regional methodologies with the intention of being kernels for further development from local contexts. This cohort will complete work on May 1, 2019. In 2018, the Drawdown oceans research program was initiated with two Research Fellows recruited to develop the core Drawdown Oceans model. This core model template is being developed in both Excel and Python, and will allow the evaluation of marine-based technologies and practices within the Drawdown system.CommunicationsProject Drawdowns activities - including events, public speaking, partnerships, engagement, and published writing - resulted in greatly increased visibility and reach during 2018. We are seeing an overall trend of growth and expansion in our digital ecosystem, as shown below. This growth has happened without the use of paid advertising, paid mailing lists or paid search optimization.Copies of Drawdown sold during 2018: Approximately 25,000Drawdown Newsletter:Number of subscribers grew from 11,800 to 19,570 Twitter:147% growth in number of followers from 5,107 followers to 15,000Number of impressions on Twitter:Dec 1, 2018 Feb. 28, 2019 2.5 million impressions Sept. 2, 2018 Nov. 30, 2018 1.3 million impressions June 1, 2018 Aug. 31, 2018 525,300 impressions March 1, 2018 May 31, 2018 371,400 impressions Dec. 1, 2017 Feb. 28, 2018 137,200 impressions Facebook:Facebook page followers grew from 30,139 to 36,603Video:Two of our senior staff, Chad Frischmann and Katharine Wilkinson, emerged as global influencers as a result of TED Talks they presented in 2018.
