Kerryn's research focuses on the governance of emerging climate intervention technologies. These are proposals to address climate change by drawing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or by reflecting a percentage of sunlight away from the Earth. While these technologies may have an important role to play in limiting rising global temperatures, they present significant risks and governance challenges. Kerryn’s background is in law, and she combines this expertise with interdisciplinary approaches to understand how to promote responsible research and implementation of climate intervention technologies. Kerryn is currently working as part of CSIRO's CarbonLock Future Science Platform. CarbonLock is developing carbon dioxide removal technologies to help Australia meet its 2050 net-zero emissions target. Kerryn is part of a team of social scientists examining responsible transition pathways for these technologies. Kerryn holds a PhD in Law from the University of Tasmania, and BA/LLB from the University of Newcastle. Prior to joining CSIRO, Kerryn was a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Adelaide, researching and teaching in climate change law, environmental law and law of the sea. She has worked on projects examining the governance of marine carbon dioxide removal, solar radiation management, blue carbon and green hydrogen.
