Geoengineering the Southern Ocean? A transdisciplinary assessment. The project aims to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of offsetting climate change by using geoengineering to boost carbon dioxide removal by Southern Ocean microbes. With existing polar datasets as a platform, the project would combine experiments and modelling to quantify carbon dioxide removal and critically assess the economic feasibility and side effects of geoengineering. Anticipated outcomes include a framework for governance of future research and informed national/international policy on using geoengineering to mitigate climate change.

南大洋的地球工程？跨学科评估。该项目旨在全面评估利用地球工程促进南大洋微生物去除二氧化碳来抵消气候变化的可行性。该项目将以现有的极地数据集为平台，将联合收割机实验和建模相结合，以量化二氧化碳的去除，并严格评估地球工程的经济可行性和副作用。预期成果包括未来研究的管理框架和关于利用地球工程减缓气候变化的知情国家/国际政策。
