  • Kravitz and Goddard interview on NPR

EAS Faculty Ben Kravitz and Paul Goddard were interviewed by NPR

Associate Professor Ben Kravitz

Incorporating Climate Engineering into Secondary Education: A New Direction for Indiana’s Science Classrooms

Quoting NPR All Things Considered, "In the face of global warming, students are dreaming up a better climate future."

"This conversation is part of a larger lesson about developing technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. The lesson was created by Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at Indiana University; his colleague Paul Goddard; and Kirstin Milks, DeWayne Murphy’s science teacher at Bloomington High School South in Bloomington, Ind.

Scientists already know some technologies that could help. Solar and wind energy combined with big batteries are helping the world transition away from oil, coal and gas.

But Kravitz says the world isn’t moving fast enough. So he and other scientists are studying strategies to temporarily alter the Earth’s climate to reduce the effects of climate change. It’s known as climate engineering, or geoengineering."
