An L1 positioned dust cloud as an effective method of space-based geoengineering

, 2010
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.

Towards a comprehensive climate impacts assessment of solar geoengineering

, 2023
Despite a growing literature on the climate response to solar geoengineering—proposals to cool the planet by increasing the planetary albedo—there has been little published on the impacts of solar geoengineering on natural and human systems such as ...

Distinguishing Between the Short‐Term Climate Responses to Different Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Latitudes With Explainable Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), whereby reflective particles are released into the stratosphere to induce cooling, is one possible tool to counteract global warming and its associated risks. However, there is much uncertainty surrounding how SAI would be deployed, as well as the potential of novel and unknown risks and impacts.

Asian Precipitation Changes in the Past Millennium: Projection of Volcanic Forcing Onto Internal Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Asian precipitation changes over multiple time scales have been extensively studied, yet the relative roles of external forcing and internal variability in shaping the large‐scale Asian precipitation pattern over the past millennium remain underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the tripolar pattern of decadal precipitation variability across

An overview of the Earth system science of solar geoengineering [PDF]

, 2016
Solar geoengineering has been proposed as a means to cool the Earth by increasing the reflection of sunlight back to space, for example, by injecting reflective aerosol particles (or their precursors) into the lower stratosphere. Such proposed techniques

Effects of global warming and solar geoengineering on precipitation seasonality

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
The effects of global warming and geoengineering on annual precipitation and its seasonality over different parts of the world are examined using the piControl, 4xCO _2 and G1 simulations from eight global climate models participating in the ...

Weakening of the Extratropical Storm Tracks in Solar Geoengineering Scenarios

, 2020
Solar geoengineering that aims to offset global warming could nonetheless alter atmospheric temperature gradients and humidity and thus affect the extratropical storm tracks.

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 ...

Geo-engineering using dust grains in heliotropic elliptical orbits

, 2011
This paper examines the concept of a Saturn-like Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth’s oblateness J2 perturbation, is ...
