A risk-based framework for assessing the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Geoengineering by stratospheric aerosol injection has been proposed as a policy response to warming from human emissions of greenhouse gases, but it may produce unequal regional impacts. We present a simple, intuitive risk-based framework for classifying

Catastrophes, fractals and chaos in geoengineering and water treatment systems [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The present paper provides the assessing scale of the actual state of the geoengineering complexes and the model for predicting the behavior of supporting structures. To predict accidents in geoengineering and water treatment facilities it is proposed to

An earth system governance perspective on solar geoengineering

open access: yesEarth System Governance, 2020
Solar geoengineering appears capable of reducing climate change and the associated risks. In part because it would be global in effect, the governance of solar geoengineering is a central concern.

Different types of drought under climate change or geoengineering: Systematic review of societal implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
Climate change and solar geoengineering have different implications for drought. Climate change can “speed up” the hydrological cycle, but it causesgreater evapotranspiration than the historical climate because of higher temperatures.

Geoengineering

open access: yesJournal of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, 2016
Ethics is highly relevant to grand technological interventions into basic planetary systems on a global scale (roughly, “geoengineering”). Focusing on climate engineering, this chapter identifies a large number of salient concerns (e.g., welfare, rights, justice, political legitimacy) but argues that early policy framings (e.g., emergency, global ...
