One proposed way of dealing with climate change includes fertilising the oceans with iron.
Materials in the thin film on the ocean’s surface may affect ice cloud formation and thus climate on a global scale, especially when other known ice-forming particles like mineral dust are scarce or absent.
A joint U.S.-Canadian team observed that areas of the North Pacific affected by the iron-laden ash cloud underwent an “ocean productivity event of unprecedented magnitude,”
