http://idw-online.de/pages/de/event43074?ipc_year=&ipc_month= 16.04.2013 | Potsdam Mind the Gap – Climate Engineering between Models and Reality: A panel discussion of "Climate engineering" (CE or Geoengineering, as it is also called), chaired by Mark Lawrence, director of the Sustainable Interactions with the Atmosphere cluster of the Institute of Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) The panel will discuss Geoengineering, the idea that we can potentially reverse some of the effects of climate change by artificial means, and a research project aiming to produce a robust climate model assessment of this idea. The project gathered climate modelling groups from around the world to assess a technique that would aim to reproduce the climate-cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions, analysing the climate effects and side-effects, such as on agricultural productivity. The discussion will cover the history of the modelling project and link this to some of the broader issues which geoengineering raises. The panel will consist of researchers from the Geoengineering model intercomparison project (geoMIP) and from the CE research microcosm at the IASS: Alan Robock, Hauke Schmidt, Ben Kravitz, Thilo Wiertz and Stefan Schäfer.
