GC100 - Solar Radiation Modification for Climate Intervention at Fall AGU Meeting

[Alan Robock ☮]

Dear All,

We welcome your contributions to our session at the Fall AGU Meeting in San Francisco, Dec. 11-15, 2023

GC100 - Solar Radiation Modification for Climate Intervention
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/186160

Persistent CO₂ emission growth casts doubt over the chance of stabilizing Earth's temperature over the next decades through emission cuts alone. Solar radiation modification (SRM) is a suggested set of climate intervention schemes (also called geoengineering) to temporarily modify the Earth's radiation budget in order to reduce the near-term effects of climate change, working alongside decarbonization. Suggested SRM approaches include stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, and surface albedo modification. Climate intervention governance must be grounded in a solid basis of natural science and engineering research. We welcome contributions focusing on the advancements in natural science behind climate engineering, including climate modeling studies, ecological and agricultural impacts, engineering investigations, experimental results, and analog observations.  We also encourage interdisciplinary studies that connect the climatic and ecological impacts with the economic, social, political, or ethical implications, and abstracts from underrepresented communities or those who may be disproportionately affected by climate change.
