Three new teams have been awarded DECIMALS grants to study the potential impacts of SRM in their regions:
In Bangladesh <https://www.srmgi.org/decimals-fund/the-projects/bangladesh-21/>, a team led by Dr Abu Syed (Centre for Rediscovered and Redefined Natural Resources Research and Education - C4RE) will seek to understand how SRM could affect the country’s hydrology, with a focus on the Padma-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin. In Kenya <https://www.srmgi.org/decimals-fund/the-projects/kenya/>, Dr Franklin J. Opijah (University of Nairobi) and colleagues will explore what SRM could mean for climate extremes and urban floods in East Africa, with a focus on the urban areas of Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Nairobi and Addis Ababa. In the Philippines <https://www.srmgi.org/decimals-fund/the-projects/philippines/>, Dr Patricia J. Sanchez (University of the Philippines Los Baños) and team will research the potential impacts of SRM on the country’s agriculture, with a focus on the Laguna and Lanao lake areas. As ever with the DECIMALS Fund, the teams were selected following independent peer review and were free to define their own research questions. Their projects will run until the end of 2023 and they will receive financial support for open access publication fees and conference travel. The scientists will work with the pool of DECIMALS research collaborators <https://www.srmgi.org/decimals-fund/the-research-collaborators/>, a group of leading SRM experts who volunteer their time with the project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
