All Information

This research programme supports scientific work aimed at addressing important knowledge gaps in solar radiation management, including approaches such as stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening and cirrus cloud thinning. The programme is intended to improve scientific understanding through modelling and other fundamental research rather than fund general climate advocacy or unrelated environmental projects. It is particularly relevant to teams with strong atmospheric science, physics, climate modelling or aerosol research expertise. Researchers must ensure that their proposal matches the specific scientific questions described in the current request for applications.
