Description: This project explores a bio-based approach to climate engineering using ice-nucleating bacteria, including Pseudomonas syringae and other genera such as Lysinibacillus and Pantoea, shown to possess ice nucleation activity. These microorganisms are proposed as biological tools for enhancing cloud formation and increasing atmospheric albedo, with the goal of reducing air temperature and mitigating global warming.
