Seeking CDR/NET book chapter reviewers

[steve.rackley]

Hi All,

Further to my post mid last year, book chapters are now coming ready for review, starting with the first introductory chapter that recaps the history of climate science since 1856, emerging awareness of the climate crisis, leading to the contribution negative emissions are expected to make to the solution. Also ready for review are 3 chapters on the basic science and implementation status of CO2 separation methods - absorption, adsorption, and membranes, and a chapter on terrestrial carbon cycle processes.

Please get in touch if you have the time and interest to review any of these - for the first it would be great to hear from someone with 30+ years involvement in the subject.

Thanks!

Steve

Most interesting to me would be ocean-geo carbon ‘cycles’. The carbon cycle is a small part of a much bigger picture – carbon exit from the mantle, into the ocean, then into sediments, then much of it ending up in the continents as carbonate rock and organics, about 80% / 20%. The rest gets subducted and either comes out in volcanos or goes round again in the mantle.

 

A tall order for a whole chapter, I know.

 

But my takeaway: The ocean has always been Earth’s primary carbon sink at least initially. The eventual main sink is as continental rock.

I would be interested in reviewing chapter 1 Steve.
