Re: [prag] Barrier reef

Excellent piece, Stephen! Thanks!

Can artificially altered clouds save the Great Barrier Reef?

Australian scientists are rushing to develop new technologies — such as ways to block sunlight — to help preserve corals in the face of climate change.

“In place of its normal load of cars and vans, the repurposed ferry boat sported a mobile science laboratory and a large fan on its deck as it left Townsville, Australia, in March.” 

To read beyond that costs a “pretty penny.“

I searched for a free access as I don’t have a ‘Nature’ subscription, and found the podcast:

Well worth the time to listen (or read) in spite of the 2021 publication date.

Best regards,

Stephen,

Pursuant to the ‘Nature’ piece about Daniel Harrison’s efforts in the GBR, I’ve got a question pertaining to the operations you envision for cooling the Arctic.

Can you “pinpoint” generally where you initially think a fleet of drones would most effectively be deployed for “beta” or “pilot” testing, and then where the ultimate fleet of 400 (or 800 – 1,000) drones would be most effective, at least during Arctic summer? (Migration southward, of course, would be necessary, but where do you envision? Atlantic? Pacific? Indian?)

A few days ago, I quickly marked-up the attached NASA images dated June 28 (https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/cryo/data/current-state-sea-ice-cover)

It’s clear that space and time in the Arctic have significant constraints. These visuals tend to point to the Norwegian, Greenland and Barents Seas as a manageable target area, logistically speaking. Do you have a clear picture for near term and long term?

Best regards,

Doug
