- Modeling study exploring the potential for this concept to increase sea ice extent and facilitate cooling.
- A sea ice model may inform questions related to strength of ice, how much thickening is required, etc.
- An earth systems model may inform questions about larger scale increases in sea ice extent and impacts on temperature.

- A multilateral governance framework addressing ice management research is needed, followed by regulation for specific approaches (Argüello and Johansson 2022).
- Research framework proposed by Diamond et al. 2022 for marine cloud brightening could be adapted and developed for ice management approaches. This framework includes checkpoints (research questions that need to be addressed for the pathway to be viable) and exit ramps (criteria for terminating research if the pathway is deemed not technically or socially feasible). Once developed, this type of research framework could be enacted now, even in the absence of other governance structures and international guidance. Diamond et al. (2022) focuses on physical and technical checkpoints and exit ramps. However, social checkpoints and exit ramps also need development.
- Further development of what priorities look like in different places for different actors will be needed.

- Inuit communities in Greenland and eastern Canada should lead, or at least engage in, this research.
- Public engagement, education, and town halls about all aspects of the approach need to be developed and implemented in parallel with research in order to determine whether this approach can be implemented.
- Follow core engagement principles identified by the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) advisory committee (Jinnah et al. 2024):
- Start engagement efforts as early as possible.
- Include social scientists with engagement expertise on research teams during the research design process.
- Don’t presuppose what communities will be concerned about.
- Develop a plan to be responsive to community concern.
