In this episode of Climate Reflections: The SRM360 Podcast, host Dr. Pete Irvine discusses the sunlight reflection method (SRM) known as Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB), which involves spraying sea salt particles below the cloud base to brighten clouds and reflect sunlight. The episode explores two different MCB field experiments by scientists, and discusses the technical, scientific, and ethical challenges of MCB.
Joining us to explain Marine Cloud Brightening are experts Dr. Isabelle Steinke, Assistant Professor for Climate Engineering at TU Delft, Dr. Michael Diamond, Assistant Professor in Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University, and Dr. Daniel Harrison, Oceanographer and Engineer at the National Marine Science Centre of Southern Cross University and Cooling and Shading Leader for the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program in Australia.
