Dear all,

Please join us for our next Meteorology seminar on Tuesday October 21 at 3 PM, given by Dr. Katrine Gorham<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sparkclimate.org%2Four-team-members%2Fkatrine-gorham&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7C157323a77bef4244becf08de0ca76133%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638962110187181743%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eLoYtpGq8eRShV0DfHxCDQEsd2MoUsqKVhv%2Bb%2Fe8OxE%3D&reserved=0> from Spark Climate. She will present "Atmospheric methane: exploring pathways to reduce climate risk” (abstract below)

Dr. Gorham will present remotely but we will still gather together in EOA 1044. Please contact Allison Wing (awing at fsu.edu) if you have approved work off-campus or a medical excuse and need the Zoom link.

DATE: Tuesday October 21
TIME: 3-4 PM, please join early for refreshments
LOCATION:  EOA 1044 (speaker remote)
SPEAKER: Dr. Katrine Gorham<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sparkclimate.org%2Four-team-members%2Fkatrine-gorham&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7C157323a77bef4244becf08de0ca76133%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C638962110195316199%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KYqyJMeejTc%2B36RfNAM0tElrv7M22G7MuiajSNg9%2BRI%3D&reserved=0>

TITLE: Atmospheric methane: exploring pathways to reduce climate risk

ABSTRACT: Methane is the second-most important greenhouse gas and has contributed roughly 0.5 °C to global warming relative to pre-industrial times. Natural sources are currently responsible for about 40% of methane emissions, and are expected to rise as temperatures warm, particularly from wetlands, freshwater systems, and thawing permafrost. While technologies for destroying methane emissions from higher concentration sources are being developed, there are no existing technologies for mitigating atmospheric methane at background atmospheric concentrations (2 ppm). The topic of atmospheric methane removal was the focus of a 2024 National Academies consensus study and is receiving increased attention from the academic research community. This presentation will explore the role that methane plays as a contributor to rising temperatures and consider hypothesized atmospheric methane removal approaches as part of a climate response portfolio.

We look forward to seeing you there!
