The UK research and innovation agency - UKRI - announced today that they dedicating over 10,000,000 pounds over five years to a SRM research program focused on the following four areas:

• better understanding of the climate impacts of stratospheric aerosol intervention
• better understanding of the climate effects of marine cloud brightening
• using natural analogues and mining of existing data to understand SRM
• novel SRM techniques, such as understanding the climate impacts from (to date) lesser studied SRM techniques

NERC expect to release a funding opportunity for research in summer 2024.
