I've always been open about my belief that having +research on SRM is good, so to me the ARIA program is very welcome. Most of the funded research is about expanding our understanding of potential outcomes through modeling, obs and engagement. Yes, there are some outdoor scientific experiments:

Could researching #SunlightReflectionMethods inadvertently reduce momentum for cutting emissions?
Mitigation displacement – also described as "moral hazard" – is one of the main critical objections to #SRM. How might society react?

This is the kind of question that SRM360 is here to answer.
Journalists, policymakers, the public have a lot of questions about SRM geoengineering, and the scientific literature addresses these, but it's very hard to penetrate.
SRM360.org aims to bridge this gap.
