[Edge-all] Reminders: EDGE Symposium and Geographer's scholarship

[Sandra Kirtland Turner]

Dear all,

A few reminders about upcoming events and opportunities:

The EDGE spring symposium will be on *May 22nd, 2026 *from 3-7 pm at the
UCR Botanic Gardens!

Our keynote speaker, *William Berelson *will be giving a talk titled
"CaCO3 Dissolution
Neutralizes CO2: From Science to Start-up". It is a great chance to learn
about Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). Below is a short description from Will:

"I will present the path we’ve taken to re-discover the kinetic controls on
CaCO3, what are the correct rates as a function of saturation state and why
we think we’re correct. Many different lab and field experiments have given
us confidence that this new formulation is correct, but what does it mean
for how the ocean carbon system has behaved in the past and how it will
behave in the future?  I’ll address these points with some data from
studies off the Costa Rican ridge and conclude with how all this science
has led us to start a business aimed at neutralizing CO2 from ocean
shipping."

Please RSVP for the EDGE Spring Sym by *May 15th*: Google RSVP
