Minneapolis (Minnesota), [US], April 8 (ANI): Composed of climate scientists and ecologists from leading research universities internationally, a team of scientists found that more research is needed to understand the ecological impacts of solar radiation modification (SRM) technologies that reflect small amounts of sunlight back into space.
Published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, researchers in the Climate Intervention Biology Working Group including Jessica Hellmann from the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment explored the effect of solar climate interventions on ecology.
They explored the effect of solar climate interventions on ecology. The team emphasises that greenhouse gas emissions reduction and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem functions must be the priority.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The research group, which included ecologists and climate scientists from top-class research universities on a global scale, discovered that more studies are required to comprehend the ecological effects of solar radiation modification (SRM) technologies that reflect small amounts of sunlight again into space.

Composed of climate scientists and ecologists from leading research universities internationally, the team found that more research is needed to understand the ecological impacts of solar radiation modification (SRM) technologies that reflect small amounts of sunlight back into space. The team focused on a specific proposed SRM strategy referred to as stratospheric aerosol intervention (SAI)) to create a sulfate aerosol cloud in the stratosphere to reduce a portion of incoming sunlight and radiation. In theory, this cloud could be controlled in size and location.
