Funded Activity Summary

Geoengineering the Southern Ocean? A transdisciplinary assessment. Geoengineering the Southern Ocean? A transdisciplinary assessment. The project aims to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of offsetting climate change by using geoengineering to boost carbon dioxide removal by Southern Ocean microbes. With existing polar datasets as a platform, the project would combine experiments and modelling to quantify carbon dioxide removal and critically assess the economic feasibility and side effects of geoengineering. Anticipated outcomes include a framework for governance of future research and informed national/international policy on using geoengineering to mitigate climate change.
