A great dive into the depths of aerosol dynamics for the Harvard SCoPEx experiment in Sweden, which as everyone knows has just been postponed until 2022. As usual reviewer 2 is right at the heart of the divisive issue of research in this area. See below for the article Colleen has been working on for several years.  Comments please as usual to twitter @reviewer2geo or @geoengineering1 or clar...

Eliot Peper is the author of Veil, one of only a handful of novels written about SRM. He talks to Andrew on the show about his interest in the subject, and the creative and business process of being a novelist. This episode is a super interesting foray into a fiction genre of which both of us at reviewer 2 are big fans, (Clare is reading it at the moment). Eliot is a successful writer and has writ...

Pippa Gawley is an experienced investor  (with a science and investing background) and here explains the how and why of companies that show promise in climate change tech might be chosen for investment at the gritty starting point. A fascinating insight especially for our academic listeners who should be interested in how interesting tech gets off the ground.   https://www.zerocarbon.cap...

Raymond Tan is probably the most prolific and experienced academic ever to have his work rejected by Reviewer 2. Here, he discusses analysis of the impact of large scale Enhanced Weathering on the wider economy and environment (while being rudely interrupted).
