Hi folks –

If you are planning on attending this year’s American Geophysical Union fall meeting in San Francisco, please consider submitting to our session:

GC003: Advances in Climate Engineering Science: Benefits, Risks, and Uncertainties

As the window to stop catastrophic climate change narrows, proposals to deliberately modify the climate system by reflecting sunlight to reduce the impacts of global warming (Solar Radiation Management or SRM) have received increasing attention. Proposed methods of SRM include stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), marine cloud brightening (MCB), cirrus or mixed-phase cloud thinning, and surface- or space-based albedo modifications. While SRM interventions could have substantial benefits, significant risks and uncertainties remain. We welcome contributions that advance natural science research in SRM, including: physical and chemical processes and mechanisms; climate and ecosystem impacts; predictive modeling, engineering and field experiments; observations and natural analogues; and risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. We also encourage interdisciplinary studies that connect climate impacts with various fields such as the social sciences, political analysis, ethics, and governance, and we particularly encourage submissions from underrepresented communities or those who may be disproportionately affected by climate change.

Submissions are open until August 5 and can be done here:  https://www.agu.org/annual-meeting.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.  And also feel free to share with your networks.

Thank you!

Conveners:  Brendan Clark, Ewa Bednarz, Ende Farago, Jake Chapman, and Ben Kravitz
