Studying the response of cyclones to SRM in the Southern Hemisphere
Host institution Universidade Federal de Itajubá
Grant year 2023
Project summary
Cyclones are projected to increase in intensity and severity with climate change, causing dangerous winds and floods in coastal areas – yet almost no studies have evaluated the potential impacts of SRM on their behaviour. Prof. Michelle Simões Reboita’s Brazil-based team will explore the impact of climate change on cyclones in the southern hemisphere, and how SRM might affect that, and will look at the implications for southern African and South American coastlines. This work will provide important information to stakeholders in vulnerable areas such as the coasts of Uruguay, southern Brazil and southern Africa.
