SRM research in Africa and beyond
Host institution University of Cape Town
Grant year 2018
Project summary
The research of the South African DMF team, led by Dr Chris Lennard, covers several areas: the impact of SRM on extreme weather systems such as cutoff lows associated with heavy rainfall and wind; the effects of marine cloud brightening on African climate; and the influence of SRM on renewable energy potential across Africa. It also investigates how SRM could alter future heat stress on populations, with potential extension to global scales, and examines regional climate responses to stratospheric aerosol SRM in Europe, North America, and beyond. The project is hosted at the University of Cape Town.
