2020 Gordon Research Seminar on Climate Engineering

We would like to invite you to apply for the Gordon Research Seminar on Climate Engineering, to be held June 27-28, 2020 at Sunday River in Newry, Maine.

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Climate Engineering is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. The 2020 Gordon Research Seminar on Climate Engineering is focused on bridging physical and social sciences in the interdisciplinary field of radiation management approaches. Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated Gordon Research Conference. The program will consist of an introductory Keynote session, two poster sessions, and three oral sessions with ample time for discussion. We are excited to confirm Dr. Shuchi Talati from the Union of Concerned Scientists as our Keynote Speaker.

The meeting will focus on a variety of potential climate engineering methods, including but not limited to: stratospheric aerosol addition, marine cloud brightening, surface albedo modification, and cirrus cloud thinning. We welcome abstracts spanning processes, impacts, methodologies, and disciplines. If you are interested in being considered for an oral session please submit your abstract by March 27, 2020. All other applications are due May 30, 2020.

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Climate Engineering will immediately follow the GRS and attendance at both is strongly encouraged. Please note there is a separate application for the GRC, and more information can be found using the link above.

International applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to allow adequate time for visa processing. Eligible applicants may apply for the Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority Fellowship. Limited travel and registration fee support is available. If your attendance would be conditional on receiving travel support please email us separately.

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this information to any early career researchers in your network who are working on climate engineering. Any questions may be directed to the GRS chairs, Katie Dagon (kdagon@ucar.edu) and Daniele Visioni (dv224@cornell.edu).

Sincerely,

Katie Dagon and Daniele Visioni, GRS Chairs
