Professor Lin is part of release of 'Reflecting Sunlight' solar geoengineering report

Professor Albert C. Lin participated in the March 25 public release of a committee report of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on “Reflecting Sunlight: Recommendations for Solar Geoengineering Research and Research Governance.”

Lin’s remarks addressed the committee’s recommendations for the governance of research into solar geoengineering, which refers to strategies designed to cool Earth either by adding small reflective particles to the upper atmosphere, by increasing reflective cloud cover in the lower atmosphere, or by thinning high-altitude clouds that can absorb heat. 

The report is available here, and a video of the public release is available here

Chemical & Engineering News quoted Lin’s remarks on recommended limits on outdoor experimentation.  Read the story.

Albert Lin is a professor at the UC Davis School of Law with special interests in environmental law, natural resources law, and evidence.
