Compton Lecture Series: An Introduction to Climate Systems Engineering
An Introduction to Climate Systems Engineering is a multidisciplinary exploration of emerging approaches to reduce climate change itself and mitigate some of its risks. Featuring talks by leading researchers from the University of Chicago’s Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEI), this series will examine the science, technologies, and policy implications behind large-scale interventions such as sunlight reflection methods (SRM), open-systems carbon removal, and glacial preservation. Join CSEI for a primer on what’s possible with this emerging field and what kinds of public policy and research are needed if society chooses to pursue these tools.
These lectures are free and open to all who are curious to learn more about this emerging field.
