    Is International Law Ready for Marine Geoengineering?

    12:00pm to 1:00pm

    Location: 

    The EPS Faculty Lounge (Hoffman Lab 409), 20 Oxford St

    On February 7th, Kerryn Brent and Jeff McGee from the University of Tasmania will give a talk titled, “Is International Law Ready for Marine Geoengineering?” followed by a Q&A and discussion. 

    Summary: The world’s oceans are a key site for site CDR and SRM proposals. There is a large body of international law that governs human activities in the world’s oceans.  We find the capacity of these rules to govern marine geoengineering is limited in three ways. First, states have different rights and obligations concerning marine geoengineering depending on whether it...

    Identifying Research Priorities for a Solar Geoengineering Research Agenda

    (All day)

    Location: 

    Washington, D.C.
    In December 2018, SGRP hosted a workshop in Washington, DC. Organized by Harvard researchers David Keith, Frank Keutsch, Dustin Tingley, Peter Irvine, Lizzie Burns, Cornell researcher, Douglas MacMartin, and Carnegie Institution for Science researcher, Ken Caldeira, this project aimed to identify views about research priorities for solar geoengineering through a survey of, and discussion with, experts in the field. It identified which solar geoengineering technologies, areas of research, and specific research proposals are of high priority to the research community and where there are...
