Geoengineering tensions [PDF]

open access: yesFutures, 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.

Assessing terrestrial biogeochemical feedbacks in a strategically geoengineered climate

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Geoengineering by injecting sulfur dioxide (SO _2 ) into the lower stratosphere has been suggested to reduce anthropogenically induced warming. While impacts of such geoengineering on climate have been investigated in recent decades, few modeling studies

Explicit feedback and the management of uncertainty in meeting climate objectives with solar geoengineering

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Solar geoengineering has been proposed as a method of meeting climate objectives, such as reduced globally averaged surface temperatures. However, because of incomplete understanding of the effects of geoengineering on the climate system, its ...

The Ethics of Volcano Geoengineering

open access: yesEarth'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
