Dear Colleagues,

The abstract submission deadline for the EGU General Assembly 2015 is fast
approaching: 7th January 2015, 13:00 CET.
Please consider submitting your abstract to the following session:

AS4.16/CL3.8: Climate engineering: new insights from (Solar) Radiation
Management studies

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/session/17701

The session offers a great opportunity present new results from climate
engineering (geoengineering) methods related to solar radiation
management, including stratospheric aerosol injections, marine sky
brightening and cirrus cloud thinning.

Lack of progress in limiting greenhouse gas emissions has brought the
topic of climate engineering onto the research agenda as a potential
option alongside mitigation and adaptation. A number of climate
engineering techniques have been proposed as tools to ameliorate some of
the effects of climate change. Most of the proposed radiation management
techniques would involve increasing the amount of solar radiation
reflected by the Earth through; for example injection of particles in
the stratosphere, brightening of low clouds over the oceans or
brightening of the land surface. The thinning of cirrus clouds is an
exception, which aims to cool the climate by releasing more thermal
radiation to space.

Contributions from the Geoengineering Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP)
and other climate model and impact studies are welcome.

Invited speaker: Prof. Ken Caldeira.

The abstract submission deadline is 7th January 2015 13:00 CET and the
meeting will be held 12 - 17 April, Vienna, Austria.

On behalf of the conveners,
Helene Muri
