Dear Colleagues:
The Board on Atmospheric Science and Climate is pleased to announce the formation of a new study committee, the Geoengineering Climate: Technical Evaluation and Discussion of Impacts. This committee is charged to evaluate what is currently known about the science of proposed climate geoengineering techniques, including potential risks and consequences, such as impacts, or lack thereof, on ocean acidification; describe what is known about the viability for implementation of the proposed techniques including technological and cost considerations; briefly explain other geoengineering technologies that have been proposed (beyond the selected examples); and identify research needed to provide a credible scientific underpinning for future discussions. The committee's statement of task and details about the members are available at: https://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/CommitteeView.aspx?key=49540 Public comments may be submitted to the NRC via this site. Sincerely, Ed P.S. Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ---- Edward Dunlea, Ph.D. Senior Program Officer Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate The National Academy of Sciences 202-334-1334 edun...@nas.edu<mailto:edun...@nas.edu> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
