Bellamy, R., et al. (2014) Deliberative Mapping of options for tackling climate change: Citizens and specialists open up appraisal of geoengineering

Bellamy, Rob; Chilvers, Jason; Vaughan, Naomi E. (2014): Deliberative Mapping of options for tackling climate change: Citizens and specialists ‘open up’ appraisal of geoengineering. In Public Underst Sci. DOI 10.1177/0963662514548628.

“Here, we present the findings from the first ‘upstream’ appraisal of geoengineering to deliberately ‘open up’ to a broader diversity of framings, knowledges and future pathways. We report on the citizen strand of an innovative analytic–deliberative participatory appraisal process called Deliberative Mapping.”

Comment on Stuart et al. (2013). “We examine the parametrized model of Stuart et al. (2013) vis-a-vis a diffusion based model proposed by us earlier (Anand and Mayya, 2011) to estimate the fraction of aerosol particles surviving coagulation in a dispersing plume.
