Abstracts of papers

s of Papers from Princeton University's Carbon Mitigation Initiative To be presented at the Fourth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture & Sequestration May 2-5, 2005 Alexandria, Virginia Princeton University's Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI) is a 10-year program (2001-2010) addressing the long-term challenge of carbon management from the perspectives of science, engineering, and public policy. CMI intends to establish which carbon management strategies: 1) will have the desired effect on atmospheric carbon and climate; 2) will be safe and reliable with limited environmental impact; and 3) will involve neither prohibitive economic costs nor prohibitive disruption of patterns of energy consumption. Further information about CMI can be found at the project website: www.princeton.edu/~cmi/. Gathered here are the abstracts of nine papers that CMI researchers are presenting to the Fourth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration, May 2-5, 2005, Alexandria, Virginia.
