Thanks for bringing this up Andrew... Greg, to follow up on your points made: I presented some preliminary results at the Climate Engineering Conference in Berlin last August. Basically, everything you´ve mentioned we´ve done at NIOZ in the past two years, including proper lab tests with filtere

I went to the launch. CCS is currently expensive but the cost assessment needs to be done in the context of a full suite of methods to achieve deep reductions. When real market drivers for such reductions are adopted we should see cost-reducing innovations stimulated for CCS and a range of com

Poster's note: potentially of interest to air capture types. Cynics may claim that this is simply an expensive piece of subsidized greenwash for the fossil fuels industry - and one that's being used partially to extract even more fossil fuels via EOR. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/cle

Many interesting developments in here. 1) We're getting better at real time observation of algal blooms thanks to multi sensor multi band and multi platform devices (ARGO + satellite is a potent combination) but not there yet. 2) Of particular note for the geoengineering community is the importan

Hi, Schuilling carried out experiments where modest surf action was imitated by having olivine grains rotate slowly along the bottom of an Erlenmeyer, the water turned an opaque white after a few days of rotation, the pH of the solution had gone up, and many of the slivers had already turned in
