SRM in South America: Analysis of climate impacts at regional and local scales
Host institution University of Buenos Aires & CONICET
Grant year 2018
Project summary
In Argentina, Prof. Inés Camilloni and her team assess the potential climate risks and benefits of solar aerosol injection (SAI) in South America. Using climate model simulations from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP), the team will evaluate changes in temperature, precipitation, and evapotranspiration across seven South American regions under different future climate scenarios. The project also focuses on Buenos Aires, analysing how SAI could affect urban temperatures, extreme weather events, and rainfall patterns compared to projected local climate change. The results will provide quantitative, policy-relevant insights into SAI as a potential climate intervention strategy.
