Some possible routes to mitigating global climate change
On May, 4, Head of School Ken Aldridge sat down with Peter Kelemen '74 to discuss his work around climate change. We are grateful to Peter for sharing his time and knowledge with the WFS community!
Our apologies for not starting the recording at the beginning of the event. Peter is answering Ken's first question when the recording starts.
More about Peter:
Peter Kelemen graduated from Wilmington Friends School, in 1974, and from Dartmouth College in 1980 (six years later!). He received his PhD from the University of Washington in 1987. He is Arthur D. Storke Professor in Columbia University’s Dept. of Earth & Environmental Sciences, based at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. He was Associate Chair and Chair of the Department from 2012 to 2018. Kelemen is a member of the US Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Mineralogical Society of America, and the Geochemical Society, a recipient of the AGU Bowen Award, an adjunct Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History, the Chief Scientist of the ICDP Oman Drilling Project, and a member of the NASA Mars 2020 Rover Science Team. He worked as a mineral exploration consultant from 1981-1990, and spent 16 years as a research scientist at WHOI before moving to Columbia University in 2004. His research focuses on chemical and physical feedbacks during reactive porous flow of fluids and associated deformation. For the past dozen years, this has included a focus on natural and engineered systems for CO2 removal from air and permanent, geological storage, via carbon mineralization during weathering and alteration of Mg- and Ca-rich rocks.
