Futures, 2018 There has been much discussion of the moral, legal and prudential implications of geoengineering, and of governance structures for both the research and deployment of such technologies. However, insufficient attention has been paid to how such measures might affect geoengineering in terms of the incentive structures which underwrite scientific progress.

The Ethics of Volcano Geoengineering
Earth's Future, 2023 Volcano geoengineering is the practice of altering the state of volcanic systems and/or volcanic eruptions to exploit them or mitigate their risk. Although many in the field insist there is little that can be done to mitigate the hazard, past examples of

Impact of solar geoengineering on wildfires in the 21st century in CESM2/WACCM6 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 We quantify future changes in wildfire burned area and carbon emissions in the 21st century under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios and two SSP5-8.5-based solar geoengineering scenarios with a target surface temperature defined by SSP2 ...

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2018 Purpose - Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult owing to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategies are proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Brief communication: Understanding solar geoengineering's potential to limit sea level rise requires attention from cryosphere experts [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, a form of solar geoengineering, is a proposal to add a reflective layer of aerosol to the stratosphere to reduce net radiative forcing and so to reduce the risks of climate change.

Journal of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, 2016 Geoengineering, specifically Solar Radiation Management (SRM), has been proposed to effect rapid influence over the Earth’s climate system in order to counteract Anthropogenic Global Warming. This poses near-term to long-term governance challenges, some of which are within the planning horizon of current political administrations.
