The panel will discuss Geoengineering, the idea that we can potentially reverse some of the effects of climate change by artificial means, and a research project aiming to produce a robust climate model assessment of this idea. The project gathered climate modelling groups from around the world to assess a technique that would aim to reproduce the climate-cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions, analysing the climate effects and side-effects, such as on agricultural productivity. The discussion will cover the history of the modelling project and link this to some of the broader issues which geoengineering raises.
The panel will consist of researchers from the Geoengineering model intercomparison project (geoMIP) and from the CE research microcosm at the IASS: Alan Robock, Hauke Schmidt, Ben Kravitz, Thilo Wiertz and Stefan Schäfer.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
