SEES Workshop: Natural and Engineered Carbon SequestrationBradley Sageman, Northwestern UniversityEAR-1138523ABSTRACT The Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (SEES) investment area was established in FY 2010 in an effort address challenges in climate and energy research and education. The initial RFP encouraged near term activities, such as interdisciplinary workshops, that would help inform the development of SEES activities. This proposal outlines a plan to hold a workshop in association with the 2011 Annual meeting of Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, MN. The objective of this workshop is a community-wide gathering of researchers whose work relates to the natural and engineered components of the global carbon cycle. Given that observational evidence and model predictions suggest that significant global warming is already underway, and the prospect of widespread conversion to low- or no-carbon energy sources is likely many decades in the future, mitigation of greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere is a major priority. The development of effective and safe engineered carbon sequestration carries one set of research challenges. Progress in such areas should be matched by improved understanding of natural carbon sequestration processes, largely derived from research on ancient episodes of major perturbation of the carbon cycle (e.g., PETM). The workshop will draw broadly on different research communities in an effort to highlight leading problems and approaches, focus collaborative efforts, germinate proposal concepts, and provide a summary of the major research efforts that are already underway, as well as those that should be initiated.

SEE研讨会：自然和工程碳排序西北大学Bradley Sageman EAR-1138523 ABSTRACT科学、工程和可持续发展教育(SEE)投资区成立于2010财年，旨在应对气候和能源研究和教育方面的挑战。最初的建议书鼓励近期的活动，如跨学科讲习班，这将有助于为国家经济政策活动的发展提供信息。该提案概述了在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行的美国地质学会2011年年会期间举办研讨会的计划。这次研讨会的目的是在社区范围内聚集研究人员，他们的工作与全球碳循环的自然和工程组成部分有关。鉴于观测证据和模型预测表明，显著的全球变暖已经开始，而且未来几十年可能会广泛转向低碳或无碳能源的前景，缓解大气中的温室气体水平是一个主要优先事项。有效和安全的工程化碳封存的开发带来了一系列研究挑战。在这些领域取得进展的同时，应更好地了解自然碳封存过程，这主要源于对古代碳循环重大扰动事件的研究(例如，PETM)。讲习班将广泛利用不同的研究社区，以努力突出主要问题和方法，集中合作努力，萌发提案概念，并总结已经在进行的以及应该启动的主要研究工作。
