To assess the impact of sunshade
geoengineering on crop yields, Pongratz's team, which included Carnegie's Ken Caldeira and Long Cao, as well as Stanford University's David Lobell, used two different climate models.

While climate change in recent decades has been found to negatively affect
crop yields in many regions, a new study led by Carnegie's Julia Pongratz is the first to examine the potential effect of
geoengineering on food security.
In the food security article, «The team found that, in the model, sunshade
geoengineering leads to increased
crop yields in most regions, both compared with current conditions and with the future projection of doubled carbon dioxide
on its own.»
