Tara Garnett, Helena Wright, Pablo Manzano, Dan Blaustein-Rejto 17 Mar 2022
4 CO2 solutions: ocean carbon storage options The speakers explore the various approaches being proposed to store and preserve CO2 in the ocean, many inspired by mechanisms known to function naturally in the past, and assess the challenges and research hurdles for their implementation in the future. Ros Rickaby, Sophie Gill, Roxana Shafiee, Myles Allen 07 Jun 2021
5 Between a rock and a wet place: putting carbon back into geological storage The cycle of carbon between the Earth’s surface and its deep interior is a key component of our goldilocks planet.

6 Beyond zero: the role of negative emissions What are the different ways to remove carbon dioxide from air? How much potential do they have, and how can we scale them up? Perhaps most importantly, will negative emissions be a vital addition to action on emissions or a costly distraction? Tim Kruger, Steve Smith 18 Mar 2021
