Research summary
AI-generated

Ben Kravitz studies climate engineering (also called geoengineering) absome of the risks of climate change through deliberate interventions in the Earth system. His work uses computer climate models to simulate techniques such as injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere (stratospheric aerosol injection) and brightening marine clouds, and it also examines the potential regional weather, sea level, and ecosystem effects of these approaches. He additionally explores governance and public-perception questions surrounding these technologies.

Publication output was consistently high (roughly 26-40 per year) through much of the past decade, with a lower recent count that may partly reflect incomplete indexing of the most recent years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
