Each project would aim to research and communicate findings on an issue below. Please let us know by Friday, March 17th, if you are interested in working on any of the topics below or have further questions about this ACORN project! Potential Homeostasis ACORN Projects: Project 1: Passive vs Active CO2 Removal Box Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal startup that is developing a mode of direct air capture (DAC) that does not require forced air flow. Conventional (active) DAC makes use of large arrays of fans to pump air across their contactors, expending an additional 15-35% of energy on an already energy intensive process. A growing school of thought sees passive DAC as a more effective solution. Homeostasis would like to study the macro effects of this passive DAC paradigm on atmospheric CO2 levels, relative to that of active DAC systems. Until multiple at-scale DAC systems are operational, quantitative comparisons can only be achieved via modeling. Homeostasis is interested in working with one or more graduate student(s) as an ACORN project team to build such a model. They are open to the types of skill sets and knowledge bases that could assist with this effort, though imagine a background in atmospheric box modeling and/or fluid mechanics would be ideal. Project 2: CO2 to Graphite Process Life Cycle Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal & utilization (CDRU) startup that is developing a process that removes and reduces atmospheric CO2 into carbonaceous products (namely, carbon black & graphite). It is vital for CDRU organizations to build and regularly perform Carbon Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) to ensure they are having the effects on atmospheric carbon that they proport. Homeostasis has created a preliminary LCA model, and is looking to revisit and refine this model with the help of one or more graduate student(s) familiar with this type of analysis or willing to learn about LCA independently as an ACORN project team. Graduate students and postdocs interested in either of these projects should respond with a CV and a brief (a few sentences) description of their interest in the project. -- Acorn Project Team Program on Climate Change University of Washington -- Treasure Warren (*she/her or they/them*) Predoctoral Research Associate University of Washington School of Oceanography -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Each project would aim to research and communicate findings on an issue below. Please let us know by Friday, March 31st, if you are interested in working on any of the topics below or have further questions about this ACORN project! Graduate students and postdocs interested in either of these projects should respond with a CV and a brief (a few sentences) description of their interest in the project. Potential Homeostasis ACORN Projects: Project 1: Passive vs Active CO2 Removal Box Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal startup that is developing a mode of direct air capture (DAC) that does not require forced air flow. Conventional (active) DAC makes use of large arrays of fans to pump air across their contactors, expending an additional 15-35% of energy on an already energy intensive process. A growing school of thought sees passive DAC as a more effective solution. Homeostasis would like to study the macro effects of this passive DAC paradigm on atmospheric CO2 levels, relative to that of active DAC systems. Until multiple at-scale DAC systems are operational, quantitative comparisons can only be achieved via modeling. Homeostasis is interested in working with one or more graduate student(s) as an ACORN project team to build such a model. They are open to the types of skill sets and knowledge bases that could assist with this effort, though imagine a background in atmospheric box modeling and/or fluid mechanics would be ideal. Project 2: CO2 to Graphite Process Life Cycle Analysis Homeostasis Systems Corp is an early-stage CO2 removal & utilization (CDRU) startup that is developing a process that removes and reduces atmospheric CO2 into carbonaceous products (namely, carbon black & graphite). It is vital for CDRU organizations to build and regularly perform Carbon Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) to ensure they are having the effects on atmospheric carbon that they proport. Homeostasis has created a preliminary LCA model, and is looking to revisit and refine this model with the help of one or more graduate student(s) familiar with this type of analysis or willing to learn about LCA independently as an ACORN project team. -- Acorn Project Team Program on Climate Change University of Washington -- Treasure Warren (*she/her or they/them*) Predoctoral Research Associate University of Washington School of Oceanography -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have received a request from a 12th grade Environmental Science teacher at Summit Atlas High School for a guest speaker. They are looking for a researcher or graduate student that would be willing to visit and speak with the class about their work. This is a great opportunity for you to engage with our broader community and practice your science communication skills. The event specifics are outlined below: *Event specifics:* *The class is conducting research and preparing poster presentations for a mock Global Climate Summit. They are mostly focusing on how climate change is anticipated to affect different countries based on their population, geography, and economic status, and trying to develop international protocols to prevent or mitigate these effects. The ideal guest speaker would be able to talk to the students about something related to the topics above but if you're interested and your research isn't exactly related, please still reach out!* *They are looking for volunteers to visit the high school sometime between March 27th (today) and May 30th. The ideal partnership would involve 3 visits - one near the beginning of the project, one in the middle, and one at the end. However, they are more than happy to have one-off visitors as well.* *The visit would be about 30-45 minutes and involve a brief introduction of yourself and journey into climate science, followed by a brief description of your current work, and wrapping up with student Q&A.* *If you are interested in volunteering for this opportunity, please let me know by the end of the week (3/31)*. When you email, I will confirm your interest and connect you and other volunteers with the teacher. Thanks!
