„We are looking to hire one (or possibly two) postdoctoral research scientists who would undertake geophysical modeling to investigate issues raised by the comments above. The model used could be anything from a high-resolution local model to a coarse-resolution global model, depending on the problem being addressed, although we have been using primarily NCAR’s CESM for this sort of investigation.„
„Wednesday, 17 April 2019:[nbsp]Session proposals, town hall proposals, and workshop proposals close.
April/early May 2019: Fall Meeting Program Committee contacts conveners for clarifications on sessions or requests to merge them. At least one of the conveners must be available to respond to inquiries during this time.
Mid-June 2019:[nbsp]Sessions are accepted, and abstracts are open for submission. Session conveners are able to contact invited authors.
31 July 2019: Abstract submissions close.
August 2019:[nbsp]Fall Meeting Program Committee allocates and schedules sessions. At least one convener for each session (an AGU member) must be available to discuss mergers of sessions.
Early October 2019: Authors are notified of the acceptance, format, and schedule of their abstracts. The official scientific program is made available.
October 2019 through AGU Fall Meeting: The final program is developed based upon withdrawals and presenter moves, if necessary.“
„With scientists portending the possible extinction of species, increased extreme weather conditions and the decline of agricultural productivity across swaths of the globe, governments and scientists are under increasing pressure to explore new technologies that might mitigate the risks of climate change. One such development is solar geoengineering which seeks to lower the Earth’s temperatures by reflecting sunlight back into space or allowing more infrared radiation to escape.“

„The trillions of marine viruses that inhabit the world’s oceans could be mobilised in the fight against climate change. New studies suggest that manipulating the viruses that infect most of the bacteria in the oceans enables the microbes to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which could be employed to tackle global warming.“
„Sir David King, the UK Government’s former Chief Scientific Advisor, has[nbsp]called for a high carbon price to be implemented globally. He calls on[nbsp]the UK Government to increase ambition for a net-zero emissions policy by[nbsp]2045 and to start to repair the climate system.“
„The UK’s efforts to develop facilities to remove carbon emissions from power stations took a step forward with news of a demonstrator project getting underway at the Drax plant in north Yorkshire. Where most electricity carbon capture projects have focused on coal-fired power, the Drax project is the first to capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from a plant purely burning wood chips – or biomass, to use the industry jargon.“
Emerson, D. (2019): Biogenic Iron Dust: A Novel Approach to Ocean Iron Fertilization as a Means of Large Scale Removal of Carbon Dioxide From the Atmosphere. In: Front. Mar. Sci. 6, S. 3944. DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00022.
„This is a proposal for ocean iron fertilization as a means to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The idea is to take advantage of nanoparticulate, poorly crystalline Fe-oxides produced by chemosynthetic iron-oxidizing bacteria as an iron source to the ocean. Upon drying these oxides produce a fine powder that could be dispersed at altitude by aircraft to augment wind-driven Aeolian dust that is a primary iron source to the open ocean.“
Prajapati, A.; Singh, M. (2019): Assessment of Artificial Photosynthetic Systems for Integrated Carbon Capture and Conversion. In: ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng. DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.8b04969.
„Sustainable and continuous operation of an artificial photosynthetic (AP) system requires a constant supply of CO2 captured from the dilute sources such as the flue gas and the air to make fuels and chemicals. Although the architecture of AP systems resembles that of the natural leaves, they lack an important component like stomata to capture CO2 directly from the dilute sources. Here we design and evaluate the solar-to-fuel (STF) efficiency of the integrated AP system that captures CO2 directly from the air/flue gas and converts it to fuels using sunlight.“
