The Geoengine: Geoengineering and the Geopolitics of Planetary Modification [PDF]
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2013 As an introduction to a theme issue on the politics and practices of geoengineering, this paper outlines a framework for thinking about the ‘geoengine’ that underpins concepts of planetary modification. It reviews some of the ways in which geoengineering has been framed as a technological, governance, and promissory discourse and examines the ...

Geoengineering by stratospheric SO2 injection: results from the Met Office HadGEM2 climate model and comparison with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 We examine the response of the Met Office Hadley Centre's HadGEM2-AO climate model to simulated geoengineering by continuous injection of SO2 into the lower stratosphere, and compare the results with those from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ...

Geoengineering and the Approach of International Environmental Documents Towards It's Regulation [PDF]
Faṣlnāmah-i Pizhūhish-i Huqūq-i ̒Umūmī, 2022 Climate change is considered to be the biggest crisis of the present era, and traditional approaches have not been very effective to deal with it yet. Thus, in recent decades, geoengineering which includes two main methods of carbon dioxide removal and ...

Assessing terrestrial biogeochemical feedbacks in a strategically geoengineered climate
Environmental 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

Gravitationally bound geoengineering dust shade at the inner Lagrange point [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a novel method of space-based geoengineering which uses the mass of a captured near Earth asteroid to gravitationally anchor a cloud of unprocessed dust in the vicinity of the L1 position to reduce the level of solar insolation at ...
