Dear Nick Fagerlund,

Thank you for your response and the invitation to amend my request. In an attempt to narrow the scope of my request, could you please provide any information your department has pertaining to geo-engineering, weather modification and Solar Radiation Management/Mitigation (SRM) with particular emphasis on cloud seeding, marine cloud brightening/engineering/seeding and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI).

If this still proves too broad of a request, please provide the same requested information for the time period from 1 Jan 2019 to 20 Aug 2024.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Watkins
