In this Climate Chat episode, climate scientist Peter Irvine discusses a research paper he co-authored that says solar-geoengineering (a.k.a, solar radiation management or sunlight reflection methods - SRM) can limit temperature overshoot while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and shortening the time it takes to get back to a safe temperature. Link to the paper: "Peak Shaving with Solar Radiation Modification Would Shorten Global Temperature Overshoot": https://academic.oup.com/oocc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/oxfclm/kgaf013/8107970 Dr. Irvine's research focuses on solar geoengineering, a proposal to directly alter the Earth’s energy budget to offset the warming effect of greenhouse gases. He works with climate and Earth system models to understand the potential impacts of climate change and solar geoengineering, and he collaborates with researchers from a range of disciplines to explore the broader implications of solar geoengineering. He is also is the editorial director of SRM360, a non-profit organization that supports an informed, evidence-based discussion of sunlight reflection methods (SRM) by synthesizing, explaining, and communicating the science in a clear and accessible way. Dr. Irvine previously worked at University College London as an assistant professor, at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies as a post-doc, and he earned his PhD at the University of Bristol.
