EcoRadio KC
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The weekly explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life.
Host Brent Ragsdale speaks with Dr. Ye Tao, Faculty and Principle Investigator from the Rowland Institute at Harvard about a solution to the climate change crisis – MEER:ReflEction, a grand, versatile, and comprehensive engineering project rooted in the ecological functioning and resource availabilities of our planet. It addresses the urgency of climate change while reshaping our energy production and consumption to renewable energy.
MEER:ReflEction applies aluminum thin film-coated glass mirror arrays to efficiently achieve (1) solar radiation management via dynamic control of surface albedo (or, the proportion of the incident light or radiation that is reflected by the surface of earth, (2) renewable energy production, (3) carbon dioxide drawdown through ocean liming using solar thermally-produced calcium oxide (CaO),(4) removal of secondary greenhouse gases and air pollutants via atmospheric photochemical engineering, and (5)biodiversity recovery via a geographic restructuring of agricultural primary production in a high-CO2 world.
Dr. Ye Tao will present research on solutions for climate change, we hope you can tune as we become more knowledgeable about where we are going.
