Cloud Brightening project

Scientists trial world-first ‘cloud brightening’ technique to protect corals. Researchers from Southern Cross University’s National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour teamed up with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS), the University of Sydney and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to test prototype equipment developed in partnership with EmiControls of Italy. Future trials will be funded through the Federal Government’s $150m RRAP Research and Development phase.
