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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

Solar Geoengineering and Democracy [PDF]
Global Environmental Politics, 2018 Some scientists suggest that it might be possible to reflect a portion of incoming sunlight back into space to reduce climate change and its impacts. Others argue that such solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering is inherently incompatible with democracy. In this article, we reject this incompatibility argument.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Aqueous sulfuric acid is the benchmark sulfate aerosol for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), but H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$/H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O aerosol absorbs strongly in the infrared, producing longwave warming that significantly offsets its shortwave cooling. Here, we evaluate magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ${\text{MgSO}}_{4}$

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.

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.

Evaluation of the E3SM Version 3 Stratosphere Performance
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The interactions between the stratosphere and the troposphere have significant impacts on human activities and Earth system variability. In the third release version of the low‐resolution Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv3), the representation of the stratosphere is improved through vertical grid refinement in the lower stratosphere ...
