Research Progress in Ocean Geoengineering and the Related International Law
Haiyang Kaifa yu guanli, 2022 Global climate change and its negative impacts may be one of the greatest challenges to human society today. Geoengineering is considered one of the practical solutions to mitigate and even reverse climate change. The principles and current research of 5

Space-based geoengineering: challenges and requirements
, 2009 The prospect of engineering the Earth's climate (geoengineering) raises a multitude of issues associated with climatology, engineering on macroscopic scales, and indeed the ethics of such ventures.

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 ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

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 ...

Crafting a public for geoengineering [PDF]
Public Understanding of Science, 2015 In a short period of time, climate ‘geoengineering’ has been added to the list of technoscientific issues subject to deliberative public engagement. Here, we analyse this rapid trajectory of publicization and explore the particular manner in which the possibility of intentionally altering the Earth’s climate system to curb global warming has been ...

Conspiracy spillovers and geoengineering
iScience, 2023 Geoengineering techniques such as solar radiation management (SRM) could be part of a future technology portfolio to limit global temperature change. However, there is public opposition to research and deployment of SRM technologies. We use 814,924 English-language tweets containing #geoengineering globally over 13 years (2009-2021) to explore public ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

The feasibility of using an L1 positioned dust cloud as a method of space-based geoengineering
, 2012 In this paper a method of geoengineering is proposed involving clouds of dust placed in the vicinity of the L1 point as an alternative to the use of thin film reflectors.
