Video: Glass bead geoengineering to protect sea ice may actually accelerate its loss

By Lisa McDonald / October 12, 2022

In 2018, geoengineers proposed that spreading hollow glass microspheres over sea ice would protect it from melting. However, a new study argues the glass beads would likely accelerate loss of sea ice instead.
