The following individuals have expressed an interest in having some involvement with an 'oversight board' or 'institution of geoengineering'. I hope others will shortly volunteer.
Eugene I. Gordon <[email protected]> (Ph.D. physics MIT) - 'I would be glad to participate in an advisory position. I am not a geoengineer but I have the physics background and credentials to be helpful.' Gregory Benford <[email protected]> (Ph.D. University of California, San Diego) - 'I could serve on such a body. I'm a physicist at UCI, with publications mostly in carbon sequestration and energy long term policy' Oliver Wingenter <[email protected]> (Chair, Department of Chemistry, New Mexico Tech, Ph.D., Chemistry, University of California, Irvine) - 'I am willing to serve on a geoengineering board.' Andrew Lockley <[email protected]> (MEng Mechanical, Birmingham UK) - 'I am an environmental activist with board experience. I don't see myself as a field expert, just a helper.' My suggestion is that we need to have 6-12 active members, including at least 1 or 2 professionals from each of the following fields: Climatology/Oceanography Atmospheric chemistry Meteorology Mechanical, marine or aeronautical engineering Ecology/biology Plus those with appropriate commercial, funding and political experience It would therefore be VERY USEFUL if people with relevant qualifications and/or experience could step up to the plate. At this stage, it seems to me that anyone in these fields would be welcome, as there is always the opportunity for people to step down in future should they feel that more eminent volunteers have stepped forward. There are obviously a number of very notable individuals on the geoeng list who are missing from this board. I really hope that they can volunteer. I really hope to receive your comments, either directly or to the list.
