[Terrapreta] ***SPAM*** Climate Change Conference in Canada - Engineering Institute of Canada

[Duane Pendergast]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I'm participating in the organization of a conference which I think provides
many opportunities for you to bring forth your ideas and research on terra
preta.  See the Call for Papers at
http://terrapreta.bioenergylists.org/pendergast011808 . This is the second
conference on climate change hosted by the Engineering Institute of Canada.
The overall scope of the first one is still posted on the Internet.

As chair of the policy track for the predecessor conference, I did bring the
use of charcoal  in soil to the attention of participants in one of the best
attended sessions.

 

My presentation there, with notes, is at: 

 

http://www.computare.org/Support%20documents/Fora%20Input/CCC2006/Energy%20P
resentation%20Body/Energy_Mega_Engineering%2006_05_files/frame.htm

 

It is based on my related paper which is linked from the terra preta
website.

 

I'm hoping that those who follow this list will take advantage of this
conference and submit proposals for papers on terra preta over the vast
range of topics that need to be addressed. I think papers on both the carbon
sink capability and soil enhancement aspects would be appropriate. Soil
enhancement links to policy as many of you have pointed out via the
provision of an additional incentive for the establishment of carbon sinks.
That would be important to the policy and regulation topic category. I can
see terra preta papers fitting into most of the topic categories.

 

Sincerely,

 

Duane Pendergast
