Frontiers 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.

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

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 ...

Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering [PDF]
, 2013 This paper examines the concept of a Sun-pointing elliptical Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth's J(2) oblateness ...

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

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 ...
