Kwesi Akumenyi Quagraine studies climate science with a strong focus on solar geoengineering—specifically stratospheric aerosol injection, a proposed method of cooling the planet by adding reflective particles to the upper atmosphere—and how such interventions might affect rainfall, extreme weather, and agriculture across Africa. Much of the work examines climate variability and heat exposure in West and Central Africa, often using multiple climate models to compare projected outcomes. Some publications also address governance of geoengineering and human vulnerability to extreme heat.
