*Gordon Research Conference on Climate Engineering (Maine, July 18-23,
2017) *
Space is still available at the inaugural Gordon Research Conference
(GRC) on climate engineering: Radiation Management Climate Engineering:
Technology, Modeling, Efficacy, and Risks. The conveners of this year’s
conference are David Keith and Alan Robock.

encourage active participation and engagement by all attendees.
Applications <https://www.grc.org/application.aspx?id=17348> are
accepted up to 25^th June. *Limited financial support is still available
to cover conference fees or travel, and we will evaluate applications as
they arrive. We look forward to your applications.

The conference is science-focused, but there is substantial unstructured
time and we anticipate there will be ample opportunity for vigorous
discussion of the social science and political aspects of the field.
Gordon conference have been held since the 1930s, are among the most
prestigious general series of scientific conferences. The Gordon
organization now has more than 200 conferences a year. The conferences
are primarily US-based though they often get a global audience, and now
the locations are gradually extending globally. The hallmark of the
conferences is that they bring together a relatively small group of
people, typically about 150, in an informal and isolated setting. The
conferences feature a small number of long talks with extended time for
questions by speakers who are typically leaders in the field and
open-ended poster sessions at which all participate. There is a
substantial amount of unscheduled time each day which allows
unstructured interaction between participants. The conferences often
help to define a scientific field. Once established they often continue
for decades with conference chair people selected by a vote of the
participants. The conferences operate under the "Chatham House Rule,"
free discussion with no attribution and limited press.
