The security implications of geoengineering:blame,imposed agreement and the security of critical infrastructure [PDF]

, 2014
The prospect of solar geoengineering in response to climate change (on the basis of its supposedly significantly lower cost and/or more rapid impact on global temperature than carbon reduction strategies) raises a number of security concerns that have ...

Return Period of Nonconcurrent Climate Compound Events: A Nonparametric Bivariate Generalized Pareto Approach

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Compound events (CEs), commonly defined as the “combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contributes to societal or environmental risk”, often result in amplified impacts compared to individual hazards. In order to estimate the return period of bivariate CEs, a novel nonparametric approach employing bivariate Generalized Pareto ...

Deliberating stratospheric aerosols for climate geoengineering and the SPICE project [PDF]

, 2013
Increasing concerns about the narrowing window for averting dangerous climate change have prompted calls for research into geoengineering, alongside dialogue with the public regarding this as a possible response.

Analysis of Space‐Based Infrared Shielding as the Solar Radiation Protections for Global Warming Mitigations

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 257-265, January 2026.
Characteristics of solar radiation protection. ABSTRACT Solar radiation management (SRM) is a geoengineering strategy designed to combat global warming by reflecting sunlight away from Earth, thereby reducing solar heating. While SRM has the potential to lower global temperatures, it's distinct from addressing the root cause of climate change ...

Going beyond two degrees? The risks and opportunities of alternative options [PDF]

, 2013
Since the mid-1990s, the aim of keeping climate change within 2 °C has become firmly entrenched in policy discourses. In the past few years, the likelihood of achieving it has been increasingly called into question.

An actionable guide to the United Nations' Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement for research scientists

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The United Nations' “Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction” (BBNJ) Agreement establishes a broad framework regulating activities—including scientific research—in marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ), with the aim of advancing long‐term conservation and sustainable use.

Profit-seeking solar geoengineering exemplifies broader risks of market-based climate governance

Earth System Governance
Despite uncertainties about its feasibility and desirability, start-up companies seeking to profit from solar geoengineering have begun to emerge. One company is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to sell “cooling credits”, claiming that the ...

Global streamflow and flood response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
Flood risk is projected to increase under future warming climates due to an enhanced hydrological cycle. Solar geoengineering is known to reduce precipitation and slow down the hydrological cycle and may therefore be expected to offset increased flood

Geoengineering as an alternative to mitigation: specification and dynamic implications [PDF]

, 2011
Geoengineering, i.e. the use of artificial techniques aiming at cooling the planet, is increasingly considered as a realistic alternative to emission mitigation.
