Processes and Impacts of Radiation Management Approaches to Climate Change June 28 - July 3, 2020 Apply Now Chairs Douglas MacMartin and Trude Storelvmo Vice Chairs Simone Tilmes and Ulrike Lohmann Contact Chairs Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River 97 Summit Road Newry, ME, US Venue and Travel Information Application Information Applications for this meeting must be submitted by May 31, 2020. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the conference chair if more seats become available due to cancellations. Conference Description By deliberately intervening in Earth's radiation budget, climate engineering (or geoengineering) could reduce some of the impacts of climate change. Possible methods include (but are not limited to) stratospheric aerosol addition or marine cloud brightening, both of which would reflect some sunlight back to space, or cirrus cloud thinning to increase outgoing longwave radiation. This conference focuses on better understanding the processes and impacts associated with radiation management. This includes processes specific to individual methods, the projected climate response and its uncertainties, and the impacts, including those in the developing world, as well as the engineering aspects and the design of research to address risk. Related Meeting This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Climate Engineering (GRS)" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information. Conference Program The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by February 28, 2020. Please check back for updates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
