Today, a new research group has been
announced that will focus on furthering our understanding of the efficacy and
impacts of ocean iron fertilization (OIF).
An initial group of twelve universities
and research centers from around the world have come together to found the ISIS
(in situ iron studies) Consortium. Its mission is to explore the potential impact... |

In case the world can't contain its carbon emissions, among
geoengineering fixes Dan Whaley, founder and chief executive of
California-based Climos, hopes tiny plankton that live on the
ocean surface can be used to absorb CO2 as they grow.
"These are not silver bullet solutions, but things that
might take the edge off," he told Reuters. "What is the risk of
doing nothing? We think it's so extraordinary it's apocalyptic.
These geoengineering projects, the research into this, is an
exercise to reduce future risk."

Reasonably thoughtful overview of the field by The Atlantic.
"If Martin’s ideas are sound, Climos could in effect become the world’s

rapidly growing offshore forests to replace the ones that no longer
exist on land."
