The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship made up of many of the world’s most eminent scientists, engineers, and technologists.
Discover events, scientific meetings and exhibitions held by the Royal Society, as well as access to videos of past events and information on our venue.
Discover new research from across the sciences in our international, high impact journals. Find out more about our values as a not-for-profit society publisher, our support for open science and our commitment to improving inclusion and diversity within science publishing.
Find out about our work in areas of current topical interest to the Royal Society.
The Royal Society provides a range of grant schemes to support the UK scientific community and foster collaboration between UK based and overseas scientists.
The Society’s medals, awards and prize lectures recognise excellence in science and technology. Our most prestigious award, the Copley Medal, was first awarded in 1731.
Explore the latest work from the Royal Society, from news stories and blog posts to policy statements and projects. You can also find resources for teachers and history of science researchers.

C Goldblatt and AJ Watson 2012. The runaway greenhouse: implications for future climate change, geoengineering and planetary atmospheres.
Dec 28, 2014 - We summarize a portfolio of possible field experiments on solar radiation management (SRM) and related technologies. The portfolio is intended to support analysis of potential field research related to SRM including discussions about the overall

As part of its Science in Public Life programme, the Royal Society hosted a discussion about extreme weather.
In 2009, the Royal Society produced a report, “Geoengineering the Climate”, that looked at some of the techniques available. ... Geoengineering is a term that can produce an emotive and negative reaction in many people.
Dec 28, 2014 - Although solar radiation management (SRM) through stratospheric aerosol methods has the potential to mitigate impacts of climate change, our current knowledge of stratospheric processes suggests that these methods may entail significant risks. In
