Researchers have built on past studies to explore the impact of SRM on the ocean carbon cycle and marine biogeochemistry. The paper was published in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters.

© iStock The U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine have recently recommended an expansive federal research effort into climate engineering techniques. These proposed interventions, like creating a layer of microscopic droplets in the upper atmosphere or brightening low clouds over the ocean, aim to reduce solar radiation arriving at Earth’s surface. While only a temporary means of addressing climate change, these strategies could prevent some of the worst effects of climate change while more permanent methods, like reducing greenhouse gas emissions, are ramped up.

Researchers are bringing science to bear on the question and consequences of humans using technology to put the brakes on global warming. Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, but is geoengineering a cooler Earth the way to go? “There is a dearth of knowledge about the effects of climate intervention on ecology,” says Phoebe Zarnetske, associate professor in the integrative biology department in Michigan State University’s College of Natural Science and le...

Geoengineering Earth's Atmosphere: Potential Effects of Climate Intervention on Ecology Written by AZoCleantechApr 6 2021 Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, which poses a new question: Should humans, whose fossil fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming? Michigan State University community ecologist Phoebe Zarnetske is co-lead of the Climate Intervention Biology Working Group, a team of internationally recog...
