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 AS4.16/CL3.8 Climate engineering: new insights from (Solar) Radiation Management studies (co-organized) http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/session/17701 Conveners: Helene Muri ([email protected]), Simon Driscoll ( [email protected]) and Peter Irvine ([email protected]) ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Helene Muri Department of Geosciences Meteorology and Oceanography University of Oslo, Norway Phone: (+47) 22844582 e-mail: [email protected] Web: folk.uio.no/helenom twitter.com/HeleneMuri ---------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
