REMINDER DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS 31 JANUARY 2013 Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly DACA-13 8 12 July 2013, Davos, Switzerland Symposium 4.4: Can deliberate intervention moderate polar climate change and associated impacts? With the pace of climate change increasing and the array and magnitude of climate impacts intensifying, particularly in high latitudes, increasing attention is being paid to the potential for limiting anthropogenic climate change and/or associated impacts through large-scale interventions. Possible intentional approaches include modifying the solar or infrared radiation balance on regional to global scales, altering biogeochemical cycles (CO2, CH4, etc.), and intervening to limit impacts on flora and fauna. Although specific approaches have been proposed, relatively little is understood about their potential effectiveness and possible unintended consequences. Issues of technological feasibility are also largely unexplored. Papers are invited that describe and address the potential effectiveness and scientific and technical problems associated with deliberate interventions to moderate or reverse human-induced changes in climate and/or the environment. Possible examples include modelling studies of the climatic impacts of proposed schemes for altering the absorption of solar radiation; approaches to reducing release of terrestrial carbon in high latitudes; and evaluations of technological feasibility. Papers are invited that analyze the strengths and limitations of possible approaches to intervening to moderate local to global changes in climate and/or consequent environmental and societal impacts, and/or that address issues relating to possible approval, monitoring, implementation, and overall governance. Session conveners Lead-convener: Michael MacCracken (mmacc...@comcast.net <mailto:mmacc...@comcast.net> ) Co-convener: Peter Wadhams (p...@damtp.cam.ac.uk <mailto:p...@damtp.cam.ac.uk> ) Additional information The IAMAS & IACS Associations of the IUGG invite the international scientific community to their joint 2013 Assembly - the DACA-13 conference - to discuss latest developments in atmospheric and cryospheric research. DACA-13 will be held in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos, which can be reached by train from Zurich Airport in about two hours. Davos, Europe's highest city, is situated in the eastern part of the Swiss Alps at 1560 meters above sea level.
