Weakened tropical circulation and reduced precipitation in response to geoengineering
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 Geoengineering by injection of reflective aerosols into the stratosphere has been proposed as a way to counteract the warming effect of greenhouse gases by reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the surface.

Expanding the design space of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering to include precipitation-based objectives and explore trade-offs [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 Previous climate modeling studies demonstrate the ability of feedback-regulated, stratospheric aerosol geoengineering with injection at multiple independent latitudes to meet multiple simultaneous temperature-based objectives in the presence of ...

Geoengineering and Non-Ideal Theory [PDF]
, 2016 The strongest arguments for the permissibility of geoengineering (also known as climate engineering) rely implicitly on non-ideal theory—roughly, the theory of justice as applied to situations of partial compliance with principles of ideal justice. In an

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Halving warming with stratospheric aerosol geoengineering moderates policy-relevant climate hazards
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is a proposal to artificially thicken the layer of reflective aerosols in the stratosphere and it is hoped that this may offer a means of reducing average climate changes.

AGU Advances, 2023 Studies of the impacts of solar geoengineering have mostly ignored tropospheric chemistry. By decreasing the sunlight reaching Earth's surface, geoengineering may help mitigate anthropogenic climate change, but changing sunlight also alters the rates of ...

Boreas, EarlyView.We analyse the geological processes of a coastal embayment in the Kattegat. Using high‐resolution seismic data and sediment cores, we describe a geological evolution from glacial to shallow marine stages with a variety of preserved facies from different depositional settings, including glacio‐lacustrine, telmatic, limnic and coastal environments.

Implications of geoengineering under the 1.5 °C target: Analysis and policy suggestions
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2017 The Paris Agreement introduced a 1.5 °C target to control the rise in global temperature, but clear arrangements for feasible implementation pathways were not made.

Geoengineering as an alternative to mitigation: specification and dynamic implications [PDF]
Geoengineering, i.e. the use of artificial techniques aiming at cooling the planet, is increasingly considered as a realistic alternative to emission mitigation.
