Cloud Brightening - What is it?   

Join us in this Zoom lecture as we learn what this form of geoengineering is and its effects. Dr. Robert Wood is Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. Prior to this, he worked as a research scientist for the United Kingdom Meteorological Office. Dr. Wood’s research work focuses upon understanding processes controlling clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere and the roles that clouds play in determining climate variability and change, the formation of rain, and how tiny aerosol particles (both natural and anthropogenic) interact with clouds and help determine their physical and radiative properties. Dr. Wood also conducts research to understanding the potential for deliberate brightening of marine low clouds to offset greenhouse warming by augmenting the natural aerosol population.
