Bright Ice Initiative is a non-profit organization addressing some of the world's most urgent climate problems in order to slow the devastating impacts of climate change.
We are evaluating localized and low-impact approaches to increase the reflectivity of glacial ice and snow, to slow the melt.
Bright Ice Initiative is committed to follow the Oxford principles of transparency and permissions, by conferring with Indigenous and local residents, as well as governance and policy experts to help develop mutual awareness and creation of suitable policies for climate regenerative approaches to be evaluated.
We seek to work via close collaborations including Indigenous and local communities, universities, students, scientists, non-profits, and governmental groups with expertise in local conditions and cultures, glaciology, meteorology, and climate, with the aim to co-develop and evaluate local solutions that work for each community’s local conditions and challenges.
We will always work with permissions. Our team actively seeks to establish collaborations for co-development with local Indigenous and scientific communities.

This could be a profoundly good idea. I'm proud to be an MIT alum, and am excited to see accelerated work on proving out promising ideas that should result from MIT's increasing focus on climate change.
Engineers designed an artificial reef that mimics the wave-buffering effects of coral reefs and provides pockets for marine life. The structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed.
