[geo] Impact of an extremely large magnitude volcanic eruption on the global climate and carbon cycle estimated from ensemble Earth System Model simulations

Poster's note : quite amazing that the aerosol loading from a apocalyptic supervolcano is still not enough to sort out projected AGW. Gives an intuitive sense of how deep we're in it. :-( http://www.biogeosciences.net/10/669/2013/bg-10-669-2013.html Impact of an extremely large magnitude

Dear Alexander: Wonderful. My guess is that Geo will be a very big deal as ideas propagate and as nations begin to accept Geo research as legitimate and needed. I am surprised you don't have the Russian experiments listed. Maybe I missed them. The best, Bill Fulkerson From: Alexander Berger

Alexandercc list: Can you clarify whether you are inquiring about A) geoengineering (both SRM and CD) or B) solar geoengineering. Also whether you are also interested in the amount of private sector research funding that is going into A) and/or B). And is total funding or RD

Bill - thanks. I'm not aware of ongoing funding for the Russian experiments, but if you're aware of that, I'd be more than happy to incorporate it. Ron - my impression (partly based on the GAO report I pointed to in my previous email) is that there's considerably more funding for CDR research

My understanding is that the Carneige Institute has an effective research funding programme, and they are set up to take donations from US donors. Unfortunately, European donors cannot give yet in a tax efficient fashion, AFAIK. I've always been able to direct enquiries to Irene, see cc. A Bill

Dear Alexander, These are interesting lists. There are a couple more grants that could be added to your list: 1. NSF Climate Dynamics, ATM-0730452, Collaborative Research in Evaluation of Suggestions to Geoengineer the Climate System Using Stratospheric Aerosols and Sun Shading, February
