Dear All,
I am still working on the BGA's response to the parliamentary committee
on Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills, on geo-engineering.
see http://www.parliament.uk/ius
The BBC news website has just published a definition of geo-engineering -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7533600.stm
defining it as large-scale attempts to change the Earth's environment
and giving examples including orbiting mirrors and deliberately creating
Mt. Pinatubo-like sulphur aerosols.
Is this the kind of geo-engineering the IUSS committee intended?
I still welcome input on geophysics for geo-engineering (any definition)
from list members for the BGA's response.
Regards,
Sheila Peacock.
