We owe much of our success to SRM experts around the world who volunteer their time to work with us

Research collaborators

While Degrees-funded scientists are experts in their own fields, few worked on solar radiation modification (SRM) before their grants. Each team is therefore paired up with at least one experienced SRM scientist or scholar, and they work together both in person and remotely over the duration of the project.

Research collaborators volunteer their time and the relationship is intended to be mutually beneficial to both the collaborators and the Degrees-funded researchers. Many of our Degrees-funded researchers have now gone on to become research collaborators for new teams.
