Albert Van Wijngaarden

Albert Van Wijngaarden is a PhD candidate at the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the social and ethical questions surrounding efforts to study potential artificial interventions in elements of the climate system in polar regions. He examines who is included in these projects and who is excluded, what kinds of questions are being asked, and how uncertainties and risks are addressed. He also explores how these ideas relate to one another and to more conventional approaches to climate adaptation and mitigation, and has written on geoengineering in The Conversation.
