Analysis, argument, and original research on global risk, institutional design, and the application of advanced technology to the world's most consequential problems.
All Meridian writing is based on open-source analysis, publicly available data, and original synthesis. Where sources are cited, they are named. Where positions are taken, the reasoning is made explicit. Meridian does not publish anonymously, does not accept undisclosed funding for research outputs, and does not produce advocacy dressed as analysis. The standard is the same one applied to the information environment through Cronkite: valid, reliable, valuable, and transparent.
Meridian is the independent research and applied-technology project of Mark Greenhalgh. Views, analysis, and materials published under the Meridian name are his own and do not represent the position of the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of the Army, or any U.S. government agency or component. Meridian operates independently of his official duties.
