Arctic Sea Ice Road Maps

First-Order Priorities

Research and development

  • Estimate effect of tiles and model in scaling and site-suitability analysis.
  • Cost-benefit analysis of making and deploying tiles based on results of site-suitability and scaling analyses.
  • Determine if a proper tile can be engineered.
    • Optimal tile density, thickness
    • Alkalizer and nutrient types and grain size
    • Interactions with organic growth
  • Determine if proposed tile materials are toxic.
  • Determine impact on marine ecosystems and associated changes in the marine carbon pump to holistically determine their benefit.
  • A comprehensive assessment of the potential co-benefits and risks of this approach is needed.

Engagement

Version published: 
  • 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.
