Analysis of the potential for strategic iceberg placement to impact sea ice area or extent.
Cost-benefit analysis of relocating icebergs given that ships are still relying on fossil fuels and this technique may have a large carbon footprint.
A comprehensive assessment of the potential co-benefits and risks of this approach is needed.

Establish a governance framework for iceberg exploitation (Wood-Donnelly 2022). A multilateral governance framework addressing ice management research is needed, followed by regulation for specific approaches (Argüello and Johansson 2022).
Further development of what priorities look like in different places for different actors will be needed.

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.
