 The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, is a small-scale outdoor experiment intended to study aerosol microphysics and atmospheric chemistry in order to learn more about the potential benefits and risks of solar geoengineering via stratospheric aerosol injection. Due to its novelty, SCoPEx also provides an opportunity to build, evaluate, and explore governance mechanisms applicable to solar geoengineering field experiments.

 This is a hybrid event, meeting over Zoom and in person at HKS. If you wish to attend via Zoom, please [register](https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAscumvrzguHdy4x9zw0V32T4SF02jGtsn3) in advance.
