Researchers turn to geoengineering to save Chile's glaciers | GlacierHub - 7 views

  •  
    "When you think of geoengineering, you may be imagining huge mirrors in space, or iron filings being dumped into the ocean. Geoengineering, though, can occur on a smaller scale. Some researchers are proposing small-scale fixes as in an effort to save some of Chile's 3,100 glaciers."
