Ecological Stoichiometric Relationships Among Wood-Feeding Insects, Host Trees, and Soils in an Urban Tropical Ecosystem. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
In wood‐feeding insects, the presence of elemental composition suggests a potential nutritional deficiency. In this regard, the research aimed to examine the ecological stoichiometric mismatches between wood‐feeding insects and their tree hosts, analysing the components and stoichiometric mismatches of the forest ecosystem, as well as the role of soil.

Will Individual Actions Do the Trick? Comparing Climate Change Mitigation Through Geoengineering Versus Reduced Vehicle Emissions

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2021
Geoengineering is the focus of a large debate over potential solutions to climate change. However, in the midst of geoengineering and other large‐scale proposals, such as reducing emissions at an industrial level, the role of individual actions to reduce

Stratospheric sulfate geoengineering could enhance the terrestrial photosynthesis rate [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016
Stratospheric sulfate geoengineering could impact the terrestrial carbon cycle by enhancing the carbon sink. With an 8 Tg yr−1 injection of SO2 to produce a stratospheric aerosol cloud to balance anthropogenic radiative forcing from the Representative

"Sunshade World": a fully coupled GCM evaluation of the climatic impacts of geoengineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Sunshade geoengineering - the installation of reflective mirrors between the Earth and the Sun to reduce incoming solar radiation, has been proposed as a mitigative measure to counteract anthropogenic global warming.

Response of the Indian summer monsoon to global warming, solar geoengineering and its termination

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The response of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) to global warming, solar geoengineering and its termination is examined using the multi-model mean of seven global climate model simulations from G2 experiment of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison ...

Stopping Solar Geoengineering Through Technical Means: A Preliminary Assessment of Counter‐Geoengineering

open access: yes, 2022
Counter-geoengineering is the idea that a country might seek or threaten to counteract the cooling effect of solar geoengineering through technical means. Although this concept has been mentioned with increasing frequency in commentary on geoengineering,

The Morals of Model-Making [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
I address questions about values in model-making in engineering, specifically: Might the role of values be attributable solely to interests involved in specifying and using the model? Selected examples illustrate the surprisingly wide variety of things

Impacts of hemispheric solar geoengineering on tropical cyclone frequency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Solar geoengineering refers to a range of proposed methods for counteracting global warming by artificially reducing sunlight at Earth’s surface. The most widely known SG proposal is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) which has impacts analogous to ...

Strategic incentives for climate geoengineering coalitions to exclude broad participation

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
Solar geoengineering is the deliberate reduction in the absorption of incoming solar radiation by the Earth’s climate system with the aim of reducing impacts of anthropogenic climate change.

GEOENGINEERING, THEOLOGY, AND THE MEANING OF BEING HUMAN

open access: yesZygon, 2014
Because of the lack of a meaningful international response to global warming, geoengineering has emerged as a potential technological response to climate change. But, thus far, little attention has been given to how religion impacts our understanding of
