DESCRIPTION:Geoengineering and Climate Intervention: What We Need to Know\n
Concepts for directly and deliberately manipulating Earth's climate system
\, collectively referred to as "geoengineering\," have been proposed as co
ntingency responses to global warming. Their consideration is motivated by
accelerating fossil-fuel use and growing evidence of rapid changes underw
ay in our planet's atmosphere\, land\, and oceans. While stabilizing and r
educing greenhouse gas emissions provides a direct\, long-term solution to
mitigating climate change\, establishing effective strategies and making
substantive progress may take time. Some forms of geoengineering in concer
t with mitigation efforts have been suggested to avoid or reduce the risk
of the most damaging climate impacts such as abrupt and irreversible tippi
ng-point events. Yet geoengineering itself is complex and fraught with add
itional issues and risks that are still poorly understood. Satellite obser
ving systems can play a key role in improving scientific understanding and
risk assessments for geoengineering (including the risk of geoengineering
research itself) in a rigorous\, open\, and transparent fashion. This tal
k will cover the motivations and risks of geoengineering and what can be d
one to support informed decision-making. \nSpeaker: Riley Duren\, Chief Sy
