- Where it would this technique be logistically feasible? Areas need to be accessible with current deployment methods (Xie et al. 2023).
- Is there a plant-based or other natural material that would be effective? Can the material biodegrade? If yes, on what timescales?
- How can geotextile material be secured? Is there a possibility for application on moving glaciers and sea ice that does not destroy the geotextile?
- Can longer-lasting geotextiles be made?
