Geoengineering for Climate Change
With Robert McDowell, Catalyst Consultant
Abstract:
The earth is rapidly heating up, with October’s temperatures breaking all-time records. Can we use Science and Technology to manipulate Nature to ease, or even reverse, the negative consequences of all that heat building up in our oceans and atmosphere? This presentation will discuss why Geoengineering is needed and will explore several new ideas – as well as a few old ones – for combating global climate change.

Bob graduated with a B.S. degree from Villanova University while working in the Research & Development group of Johnson Matthey, the world’s largest automotive catalyst company. He was part of the team that brought the first commercial Three-Way Catalyst from concept into production, and has manufactured emission control catalysts on four continents. He currently advises a diverse set of clients working in R&D and prototyping areas, including lithium ion batteries, biofuels, precious metal recycling, and of course, emission control catalysts.
