Climate Response to Pulse Versus Sustained Stratospheric Aerosol Forcing
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Solar geoengineering has been suggested as a potential means to counteract anthropogenic warming. Major volcanic eruptions have been used as natural analogues to large‐scale deployments of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, yet difference in climate ...

GEOENGINEERING, THEOLOGY, AND THE MEANING OF BEING HUMAN
Zygon, 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

From moral hazard to risk-response feedback
Climate Risk Management, 2021 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments (IPCC) Special Report on 1.5 °C of global warming is clear. Nearly all pathways that hold global warming well below 2 °C involve carbon removal (IPCC, 2015).

A Peridynamic Framework for Modeling Progressive Failure in Porous Sandstone Indentation
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A state‐based peridynamic model is proposed to simulate the failure mechanisms in porous rocks, using Bentheim sandstone as a specific example. Experimental observations reveal a transition from brittle to ductile failure under increasing triaxial compression. This behavior is attributed to pore compaction. The peridynamic model is enhanced to

Glacier evolution in high-mountain Asia under stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection geoengineering [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Geoengineering by stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection may help preserve mountain glaciers by reducing summer temperatures. We examine this hypothesis for the glaciers in high-mountain Asia using a glacier mass balance model driven by climate ...

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...
