[Edge-all] EDGE Spring Symposium keynote presentation - Will Berelson - CaCO3 Dissolution Neutralizes CO2: From Science to Start-up

[Sandra Kirtland Turner]

Hi everyone,

The EDGE spring symposium is coming up this Friday, May 22nd in the UCR
Botanic Gardens from 3-7 pm.

Because of a few cancellations, there is still space for dinner. Please
email me (sandrakt at ucr.edu) if you would like to attend.

However, even if you cannot attend the entire event, I welcome you to
attend our keynote presentation with speaker *Will Berelson*, Paxson H.
Offield Professor in Coastal and Marine Systems and Professor of Earth
Sciences, Environmental Studies and Spatial Sciences at the University of
Southern California.

Prof. Berelson will present a talk titled CaCO3 Dissolution Neutralizes CO2
: From Science to Start-up, described below:

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.

I hope to see you there!

Best,
Sandy Kirtland Turner, EDGE Director
