Learning from Weather Modification Law for the Governance of Regional Solar Radiation Management

Dr. Manon Simon is a lecturer at the University of Tasmania Faculty of Law, specializing in the transferability of governance lessons from weather modification techniques to solar radiation management. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Public and International Law from the University of Poitiers, and pursued her LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law at the University of Oregon, USA. In 2017, she began her Ph.D. at the University of Wuhan, China, focusing on international regulations of weather modification activities. Later, she transferred to the University of Tasmania, where she completed her Ph.D. titled "Governing Cloud Seeding in Australia and the United States: Lessons for Regional Solar Radiation Management." Her research explored the applicability of existing cloud seeding laws to govern regional solar radiation management techniques. Currently, Dr. Manon Simon is engaged as a post-doctoral fellow in the ARC Discovery Project, "Governing Solar Radiation Management Research, Development and Deployment," collaborating with the Australian Forum for Climate Intervention Governance (AFCIG).
