Biography
Andrew Lenton is the Director of CSIRO's CarbonLock which focuses on novel carbon dioxide removal technologies that is scalable, fast-acting, permanent and responsible.
His research interests focus on carbon dioxide removal and its role in reaching net zero and transitioning to a net-negative world. Dr Lenton is engaged in national and international Carbon Dioxide Removal research efforts, co-leading Australia's engagement in Mission Innovation - Carbon Dioxide Removal. He also leads the Carbon Dioxide Removal Model Intercomparison Project (CDRMIP), and is a principal investigator in national and international projects and advisory groups. He was an author on the fifth and sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports.
He brings over 20 years of experience modelling the global carbon cycle and climate, focusing on understanding past, present and future changes in the earth's system and exploring solutions beyond mitigation to address climate change. He has been involved in negative emissions and geoengineering research for over a decade.
