17 January 2020, Charlottesville: Climate Restoration Workshop #640
Comments
The program is up. |
Nice introductory slides by Andres Clarens. Seem not to be public though. |
First keynote: Kate Lajtha, https://agsci.oregonstate.edu/users/kate-lajtha
|
Talks seem to be being recorded. |
Next: Daniel Sanchez, https://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people/daniel-sanchez (UC Berkeley Carbon Removal Laboratory), on Engineered CO2 removal from the atmosphere (apparently not oceans)
|
Next: David John Hayes, https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile.overview&personid=47622 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_J._Hayes
My thoughts: UVA manages lots of land, where some of the approaches discussed today could perhaps be piloted. What about hydroponics? |
Panel with Lajtha, Sanchez and Hayes Q from Arthur Small: what will be useful metrics to move carbon capture technologies/ policies forward or at least prepare the ground? A (Hayes): permanently measure the effects of carbon capture locally and transparently Q : UVA is currently converting a forest into a solar field - does that make sense from a carbon perspective? A (Lajtha): no direct answer, but some examples from Wyoming and Oregon |
I was just told that slides will be shared eventually. |
Flash talk session starts (I have emails of all presenters)
|
We then had a group work session in 1-2-4-all mode, i.e. everyone wrote down 1 idea/ thought to be discussed with the group, then this was discussed subsequently in groups of 2, then 4, then all. My input was
In the 4-mode, this got rephrased as "UVA as a carbon management laboratory" that would include things like UVA's investments/ endowments and their ties to fossil fuel. Such a lab would help link research and policy at UVA and beyond to Virginia/ Federal/ global scales. |
The rest of the day was further hands-on groupwork, so I did not take notes. |
Had a follow-up discussion with Tho Nguyen on the ethics of data science and AI. |
