SUMMARY:Climate Journal Club: "Geoengineering, the world's largest control problem"
DESCRIPTION:<p><span data-mce-mark="1"><span data-mce-mark="1">GS Cristi Proistosescu leads this week's <span data-mce-mark="1">ClimaTea seminar on geoengineering. He summarizes the discussion as the following:</span><br></span></span></p><p>Solar Radiation Management/Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM) is a proposed geoengineering technique that might reduce damage from anthropogenic climate change. However, there is no one optimal method of applying SRM - the degree of compensation will vary, with residual climate changes larger over some regions and time scales than others.<br><br>The papers we will be discussing this week treat SRM as a feedback and discuss geoengineering as a control problem. The authors discuss (a) how to properly design an SRM feedback in order to manage significant uncertainty in both radiative forcing and the climate system's response; (b) how to optimize the distribution of radiative effect to minimize regional disparities.</p><div>Summary paper :</div><div><div><a href="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/168.MacMartin.ControlProblem.pdf" data-url="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/168.MacMartin.ControlProblem.pdf">Geoengineering: the World’s largest control problem</a></div><div></div><div>More Detailed formalism:</div><div><a href="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/158.1MacMartin.etal.ManagingTradeoffsThroughNonRadForc.e.pdf" data-url="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/158.1MacMartin.etal.ManagingTradeoffsThroughNonRadForc.e.pdf">Management of trade-offs in geoengineering through optimal choice of non-uniform radiative forcing</a></div><div><a href="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/preprints/165.MacMartin.etal.Human-ClimateSystem.p.pdf" data-url="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/preprints/165.MacMartin.etal.Human-ClimateSystem.p.pdf">Dynamics of the coupled human–climate system resulting from closed-loop control of solar geoengineering</a></div><div></div><div>Optional:</div><div><a href="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/172.MacMartin.Caldeira.Keith.SolarGeoengineeringtoLimittheRateofTemperatureChange.pdf" data-url="http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/172.MacMartin.Caldeira.Keith.SolarGeoengineeringtoLimittheRateofTemperatureChange.pdf">Solar Geoengineering to limit the rate of temperature change</a></div><p></p></div>
