- Hacking the atmosphere: Geoengineering gets a reality check
Jim Franke, a University of Chicago researcher, is working on solar geoengineering to cool the planet by releasing materials in the stratosphere via high-altitude aircraft. The approach faces engineering and scientific challenges, including aircraft design, material dispersion, and monitoring effectiveness.
