Climatea Journal Club

Date: 

Tuesday, October 24, 2017, 3:00pm to 4:00pm

Location: 

Seminar Room, 440

Speaker: Professor David Keith

Professor Keith is going to give a talk on: "How much could solar geoengineering reduce climate risks?”

Abstract: I will attempt a rough summary of recent findings regarding (a) the climate's response to radiative forcing by stratospheric aerosols, (b) methods of producing appropriate aerosol distributions, and (c) risks. In closing I will discuss the trade-off between solar geoengineering, emissions reductions and adaptation in climate policy.
