A Message from the Division Director the Division of Ocean Sciences
Dear Colleagues,
The National Science Foundation has funded a series of workshops that will take place this fall on the ethical and social dynamics of climate intervention technologies. We’re looking for social scientists, ethicists, natural and life scientists, and engineers to join the conversation on shaping the governance framework around climate change, focusing on Solar Radiation Management and Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies.
We are asking for participants to help us identify research directions that can shape the governance framework around strategies of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). One session will be focused specifically on mCDR. While these technologies may offer intriguing and exciting approaches to mitigating climate change, they can result in unintended environmental and societal consequences that require an interdisciplinary approach, weighing the risks of implementing versus the risks of inaction.
This series of workshops will be held in October and November 2024, bringing together interdisciplinary teams of social scientists, ethicists, natural and life scientists, and engineers.
To access information and apply, please follow this link: https://apply.knowinnovation.com/climateintervention/
We look forward to your application. Please forward this message to anyone you think may be interested and qualified to attend and reach out to cdr-srm@nsf.gov with any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. James McManus
