WEEKLY SUMMARY (10 JULY - 16 JULY 2023) RESEARCH PAPERS Does prognostic seeding along flight tracks produce the desired effects of cirrus cloud thinning? Changes in Snow Surface Albedo and Radiative Forcing in the Chilean Central Andes Measured by In-Situ and Remote Sensing Data WEB POSTS SRM would likely prevent the only major atmospheric tipping point Plan A+ SRM would likely prevent the only major atmospheric tipping point Marine Stratocumulus Clouds (MSCs) are low-lying clouds that cover around 20% of the low-latitude ocean, or 6.5% of the world's surface (Figure 1). They are highly reflective and sit over the dark oceans, and so keep the Earth much cooler than it would otherwise be… Read more 3 days ago · Pete Irvine To Help Cool a Hot Planet, the Whitest of White Coats Marine Geoengineering: Australian Legislation THESIS Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project JOB OPPORTUNITY Program Lead Climate Engineering Governance at The International Center for Future Generations (ICFG)  | Brussels, Belgium | Deadline: 12 August 2023 UPCOMING EVENTS Conference—Solar Geoengineering Futures: Current Research and Uncertainties by Resources for the Future (RFF) | 28-29 September 2023 Climate Engineering (GRS) | 17-18 February 2024 GRC Climate Engineering 2024 | 18-23 February 2024 PODCASTS Podcasts on Solar Geoengineering topic by Challenging Climate: Neal Stephenson on solar geoengineering and Termination Shock Elizabeth Kolbert on climate change, extinctions, and life Under a White Sky Wake Smith on Pandora's toolbox and the feasibility of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering Oliver Morton on reaching net zero, and the feasibility and politics of geoengineering Luke Iseman on his for-profit solar geoengineering venture - Make Sunsets Daniel Harrison on Marine Cloud Brightening and the RRAP John Moore on the melting cryosphere and glacier geoengineering YOUTUBE VIDEOS C2GTalk: What have been the implications of the experimentation of SRM in Mexico? | C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative “What have been the implications of the experimentation of solar radiation modification in Mexico? "National governments have to generate a regulation in this regard so that we are not places of experimentation or use of this technology," said Agustin Avila in reference to the modification of solar radiation in an interview with C2GTalk. He added that, in the case of the government of Mexico, a sovereign and economically strong nation, they can give themselves the opportunity to not accept this type of experimentation in their national territory. Agustín Ávila holds a PhD in Social Sciences and Rural Development and a Master's degree in Rural Development from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). He is currently the General Director of Climate Action Policies at the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) and Head of the General Directorate of the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC). He was General Coordinator of the Education and Training Center for Sustainable Development (CECADESU) at SEMARNAT and General Director of Productive Options at the Ministry of Welfare. In the environmental sector, he has worked in forums, plans and dissemination activities on climate change, community work methodologies, educational programs, training for public servants, coordination of programs, agreements and strategies for environmental problems throughout different states of the republic. He has collaborated in various media outlets in monitoring and comprehensive and cross-cutting planning to promote the well-being of the population, using his knowledge to highlight the role of indigenous communities in building balance with nature.” DEADLINES Call for Proposals: DMF Grants for Central America & Mexico | Deadline: 31 July 2023 Call for Abstract Submission: GC100 - Solar Radiation Modification for Climate Intervention at Fall AGU Meeting | 2 August 2023
