Investigating bio-geochemical improvement of croplands as a strategy for removing CO2 from the atmosphere whilst increasing food and soil security.
We're holding a @royalsociety discussion meeting on advance, uncertainties, and scientific & societal challenges facing terrestrial enhanced weathering, 17-18 November in London. Find out more: bit.ly/3HioT8s
Led by Professor David Beerling @sheffielduni, the @lc3m_cdr is using ordinary volcanic rock dust to absorb CO2 in the atmosphere and cool the planet. 📽️media.leverhulme.ac.uk/video/leverhul…
Our social science lead, Prof Nick Pidgeon, joins new Science and Technology Advisory Council at the UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero. Congrats Nick! sheffield.ac.uk/lc3m/news/lc3m… cc @UKERW_GGRD
👏👏👏 "Understanding and incorporating public perceptions and preferences into emergent governance systems is essential if they are to be fair, effective and representative of societal concerns."
We have a new social science paper out in Nature's @hsscomms! Who pays for carbon dioxide removal? Public perceptions of risk and fairness of enhanced rock weathering in the UK. Well done Cardiff team @PsychCardiffUni | cc @CO2REhub @ScienceShef nature.com/articles/s4159…
