Simulated climate effects of desert irrigation geoengineering [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractGeoengineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of earth’s energy balance to counteract global warming, is an attractive proposition for sparsely populated deserts. We use the BNU and UVic Earth system models to simulate the effects of irrigating deserts under the RCP8.5 scenario.
