Hi I thought it might be worth starting a thread on a 'do list' for geoengineering and abrupt climate change lab research.
Here's my research wish list. I'd welcome additions, deletions and comments: Application of SRM to local and regional preservation of ice shelves Establishing the upper limits of global temperature control using SRM methods in combination Establishing the impacts on the carbon cycle of large step changes in SRM Could extreme methane release scenarios cause hypercanes? Could extreme AGW and feedbacks result in general ocean anoxia ? Can extreme emissions scenarios lead to a globally toxic CO2 level and a general extinction/die-off of animal life? Modelling peak Cirrus suppression in a purpose-designed geoengineering regime Ideas for triggering extreme storms which penetrate and wet the stratosphere Photo realistic modelling of an SRM skyscape, consequential public acceptance research. Desk research on likely animal and plant behaviour change in an SRM world Economic modelling of large scale, distributed biochar production. Upper bounds of capacity for arctic regional SRM using widely available aircraft only - I.e. lower altitude release. One I intend to do - alternative artillery technology for SRM use Modelling of bromine injection into hydroxyl radical depleted clean ocean air, for the removal of methane Drainage management in thawing permafrost areas for the control or methane/carbon release Ecosystem interventions in soils and water to reduce Methanogenesis and increase methanotrophy. I could go on.... My hope is that this list may serve as a focus for ideas exchange. A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
