Atmospheric Chemistry

The Simons Foundation's Mathematics and Physical Sciences division invites letters of intent for fundamental research addressing scientific knowledge gaps relevant to solar radiation management. Priorities include environmentally benign materials for stratospheric aerosol injection and cirrus-cloud thinning, laboratory physicochemical characterization, approaches to minimize cirrus formation, near-field turbulence modelling, and integration of improved aerosol and turbulence representations into global models. In-situ aerosol-release field experiments and social-science research are outside the call's scope.
