Abstract

An emerging, important area of climate science research is radiation management geoengineering, or deliberate climate modification to offset some of the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. On 21-22 June 2016, the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) held its sixth annual meeting at the University of Oslo. This meeting continued the aims on which the project was founded: to better understand geoengineering through simulations conducted by multiple climate models. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Norwegian project Exploring the Potential and Side Effects of Climate Engineering (EXPECT), which has the purpose of understanding the implications of geoengineering through a multi-disciplinary approach, particularly involving interactions between natural and social sciences.
