podcast by Wil Burns & Anna Medlener (Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy, American University), 37 min
Episode 9: The podcast focuses on the risks of ocean-based climate interventions and solar radiation options to deep ocean ecosystems. The guest, Lisa Levin, is a distinguished professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the lead author of a recent article in the journal Science called „Deep Sea Impacts of Climate Interventions.“ She explains that most ocean-based carbon removal technologies involve dumping materials and carbon into the ocean floor, which could affect the many different ecosystems of the deep sea.
