The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is soliciting experts to serve on the Committee on A Research Strategy for Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration. The panel will explore ocean-based approaches to carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sequestration and provide a path forward for research and development of promising CDR approaches. The CDR approaches to be examined include recovery of ocean and coastal ecosystems; seawater CO2 stripping; seaweed permaculture; and ocean alkalinity enhancement. Twelve experts are sought from the following scientific disciplines: physical, biological and chemical oceanography; chemical engineering; carbon capture; and economics. Nominations will be accepted until Friday, July 10, 2020 at https://nas.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=6ad147d09e&e=cfc3938e72 ...
