Extreme weather events and drought in the MENA region under SRM
Host institution Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, Iran
Grant year 2018
Project summary
The team co-led by Dr Karami and Dr Abolfazl Rezaei is researching how SRM could impact the Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) future climate. The arid region has limited water availability and a growing population, and it is highly vulnerable to changes in storm tracks or extreme weather events such as dust storms. The project builds on the teams pioneering work that explored how climatic parameters of the region could significantly change under global warming and some SRM scenarios.
