Dear Colleague,

 

 

 

 

We are delighted to announce that the Environmental Science: Atmospheres themed collection on ‘Solar Radiation Management’ is now online.

 

 

 

 

Solar Radiation Management (SRM), or solar geoengineering, refers to emerging climate techniques aimed at reflecting some of the sunlight back into space to reduce global temperatures. Understanding the mechanisms and potential impacts of SRM, as well as the broader field of solar geoengineering, can refine climate models, leading to more accurate projections of their efficacy and risks. SRM has the potential to reduce climate impacts globally, yet it also carries significant risks and uncertainties.
