This is a reminder of the hard deadline of midnight EDT on August 2
for submission of abstracts for the AGU Fall Meeting, Dec. 11-15,
2023. We are happy to announce that our session will have two
invited speakers, Simone Tilmes and Chih-Chieh-Jack Chen. See you
there.

GC100 - Solar Radiation
Modification for Climate Intervention
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/186160
Persistent CO
2 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.
