Arctic Repair has been proposed as a form of climate engineering that could be deployed to reduce declining sea ice over the Arctic summer. It does not address the root cause of climate change, and does not eliminate the urgent need to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions. Apart from scientific uncertainty surrounding repair techniques, there are ethical, political and social issues that also need to be addressed.

In our final Lecture Series Seminar, a lively panel discussion will look at the outcomes of COP29 and what this means for Climate Repair in the future.

The third seminar in our Autumn Series looks at the sensitive issue of engagement with communities when looking into climate intervention technologies. Professor Michael Bravo of the Geography Department and Scott Polar Research Institute PhD student, Albert Van Wijngaarden will be discussing this issue.

In the second talk of our Autumn Seminar Series, we will look into climate repair research that is already in the field. Post Doc Dante McGrath and PhD students Jacob Pantling and Jago Strong-Wright-Smith will talk about their experiences of going into the field to test their methods.

To kick off the Centre for Climate Repair's Autumn Lecture Series, we have PhD students Edmund Reardon and Yashavi Raj from the Department of Engineering talking about their research and its implications for taking Marine Cloud Brightening out into the field.
