These reports provide a scientific foundation to help inform the ethical, legal, and political discussions surrounding climate intervention (also known as geoengineering)--the purposeful intervention in the climate system to counter climate change. The reports assess the potential impacts, benefits, and costs of two different proposed classes of climate intervention: (1) carbon dioxide removal and (2) albedo modification (reflecting sunlight). The reports also discuss governance issues and the research needed to provide a credible scientific underpinning for future discussions.

The release event will feature: - Opening remarks by Ralph Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sciences and Chair of the National Research Council; - A presentation by Marcia McNutt, Editor-in-Chief, *Science*, and Chair of the report's authoring committee; - A Q&A session with Dr. McNutt and committee members David Titley of Pennsylvania State University; Scott Doney of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; and Waleed Abdalati of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)-University of Colorado. ------------------------------ New Report Identifies Research Priorities for Ocean Sciences <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=37fa7c0e1d&e=6b6abdf5d2> Developed with input from the ocean sciences community, a new report from the National Research Council identifies eight priority areas for ocean science research in the next decade, including the rate and impacts of sea-level rise, the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems, and a greater understanding of marine food webs. *Sea Change: 2015-2025 Decadal Survey of the Ocean Sciences* <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=0ee68a1afd&e=6b6abdf5d2> also assesses the infrastructure needed to support this research, and makes recommendations for rebalancing budgets to reach research goals. Join a free webinar on *Wednesday, March 11, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. EST *to learn about the report from co-chairs Shirley Pomponi of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution-Florida Atlantic University and David Titley of the Pennsylvania State University. In addition, the report's authoring committee will be presenting a series of seminars at research institutions around the country over the next few weeks. To register for the webinar and learn more about the seminars, please visit the Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences website: http://nas-sites.org/dsos2015/ <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=1cc804d7c8&e=6b6abdf5d2> . ------------------------------ *Save the Date! March 4 Annual Roger Revelle Commemorative Lecture* <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=a47f4df4fa&e=6b6abdf5d2> Don't miss the opportunity to join colleagues and science lovers to learn about cutting edge ocean topics at the Ocean Studies Board's 16th Annual Roger Revelle Commemorative on *Wednesday, March 4,* *2015 at 5:30* *p.m.* at the Baird Auditorium of the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. This year, Dr. Susan Lozier of Duke University will present: *Overturning Assumptions: Past, present, and future concerns about the ocean's circulation. * Lozier will share research that is uncovering the mechanisms that control the overturning strength of ocean circulation and how it may change in the decades ahead. As the pieces are coming together, some long-held assumptions have been overturned and some new paradigms are surfacing. The lecture will be immediately followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP here. <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=2c4e2bbbda&e=6b6abdf5d2> ------------------------------ *What Ethical Issues do Climate Scientists and Engineers Face?* The NAE's Online Ethics Center (OEC) is putting out a call for examples and/or case studies of ethical issues that climate scientists and engineers have or are facing, as well as such cases involving societal decision making. The case studies will be used as part of OECs' effort to upgrade and expand its online resources and support for ethics education in both science and engineering. If you have cases to suggest, please email [email protected]. *Copyright (c) 2015 America's Climate Choices, All rights reserved.* You are receiving this email because you subscribed to communications from America's Climate Choices. *Our mailing address is:* America's Climate Choices 500 Fifth Street NW Washington, DC 20001 Add us to your address book <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage.com/vcard?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=321b36af61> unsubscribe from this list <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=321b36af61&e=6b6abdf5d2&c=3fce288010> update subscription preferences <http://nas-sites.us8.list-manage2.com/profile?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=321b36af61&e=6b6abdf5d2> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
