Scialog Fellow in Negative Emissions Science

Other Research Corporation for Science Advancement · 2023 The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and in the oceans is a pressing challenge that requires rapid decarbonization of the global economy. Negative emissions technologies, which remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans for the purposes of sequestration or potential utilization, most likely will be needed to augment other mitigation strategies. The underlying science needed to make negative emissions technologies globally scalable still requires major scientific breakthroughs. Such breakthroughs in Negative Emissions Science (NES) almost certainly will result from multidisciplinary input, including from chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, engineering, and geophysics. This Scialog will challenge early-career scientists in these and related fields to explore together how to advance fundamental science in the design of novel approaches for rapidly removing and utilizing or sequestering greenhouse gases.
