I have created a flashcard deck on the science of geongineering that is available at https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/582330702. Anki is a free, open source flashcard program that is available on the web and on all major platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac, iOs, and Android. if you create a web account at ankiweb.net you can search under "shared decks" and view it online.
I created this deck for my own reference -- I do this when I want to commit things to my active memory -- but am making it available for others as a resource. Since there is probably minimal overlap between the Anki and geoengineering communities, probably best to think of this as a bit of STEM outreach. Some of the propositions in the deck are very basic - it is good to have some easy cards mixed in with hard ones. I will be updating this as time goes on, the Caldeira survey article provided a good way to get started. The content follows Caldeira et al. "The Science of Geoengineering" and makes a number of direct (and attributed) quotations. Most quotations are only one sentence long and some of them have been paraphrased, snippeted, or rearranged so as to fit the flashcard style of learning. (see http://alexvermeer.com/anki-decks/) I am open to suggestions from domain experts who would like to expand upon or refine the treatment of geoengineering in this deck (I know that a number of people on the list have raised issues about the Caldeira survey article). Please send your suggestions to me offline. I am looking for 1-10 "bullet points" and factoids per major topic with simple, easy to remember, and ideally quantified findings or key things to know. E.g. "the maximum carbon storage capacity of X is Y... (Doe 2013)." "The CDR technique foo is considered to have two major advantages:" A and B." (Roe 2012). "Disadvantages of foo include P and Q." (Face of Bo 2012). Cheers, Fred --- Fred Zimmerman Geoengineering IT!
