Engineering Climate - Ice911 Study
Offered By: Stanford University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the Ice911 Study in this Stanford seminar on engineering climate solutions. Delve into the critical issue of climate change and its impact on global ice cover. Discover innovative approaches to mitigate rising temperatures and sea levels. Learn about the engineering mindset applied to climate problems, focusing on interventional, remedial, and adaptive strategies. Examine the concept of artificial reflective ice and its potential to combat uncontrolled CO2 emissions. Gain insights into the Ice911 team's development plan, funding sources, and deployment strategies. Understand the complexities of geoengineering and its potential unintended consequences. Analyze the IPCC report findings and the MIT Greenhouse Gamble. Explore opportunities in cleantech and innovation for addressing climate challenges. Evaluate the importance of simple solutions alongside complex issues in climate engineering.
