the SPICE geoengineering research project

Speakers:
Dr Matt Watson, Principal Investigator, SPICE Project
Chris Walton, SPICE Project Trials Advisor, Cambridge University
Dr Kirsty Huo, Research Associate, Cambridge University

The planned SPICE geoengineering project would see the launch of a balloon tethered to a 1km-long pipe, allowing scientists and engineers to spray water droplets into the atmosphere as part of a larger project to investigate the feasibility of solar radiation management. Researchers behind the project briefed journalists on their plans.
