Congrats to group member Jay Brunelli for presenting a poster about their Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) project at the FSU Undergraduate Research Symposium! Jay’s UROP research has involved investigating shifts in defined “climate zones” like tropical and polar regions under future scenarios involving different greenhouse gas emission trajectories and/or stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). Their findings so far suggest that SAI can reduce shifts in climate zones compared to a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario without SAI, and thus reduce climate impacts and the need for rapid adaptation, but not as efficiently as having never emitted those greenhouse gases in the first place.
