Nonstate governance of solar geoengineering research [PDF]
Climatic Change, 2020 AbstractAs climate change’s risks have grown and limits to primary responses become evident, solar geoengineering (or solar radiation modification) has risen in prominence as a potential complementary response. Widespread calls for expanded research have raised objections, based on anticipated links to potential future deployment and potentially ...

An L1 positioned dust cloud as an effective method of space-based geoengineering [PDF]
, 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.

Frontiers in Climate, 2022 Climate change and solar geoengineering have different implications for drought. Climate change can “speed up” the hydrological cycle, but it causesgreater evapotranspiration than the historical climate because of higher temperatures.

Space-based geoengineering: challenges and requirements [PDF]
, 2010 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.

The hidden injustices of advancing solar geoengineering research
Global Sustainability, 2020 Advancing solar geoengineering research is associated with multiple hidden injustices that are revealed by addressing three questions: Who is conducting and funding solar geoengineering research?

Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering [PDF]
, 2013 This paper examines the concept of a Sun-pointing elliptical 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 J(2) oblateness ...

Solar geoengineering, uncertainty, and the price of carbon [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2018 Abstract We consider the socially optimal use of solar geoengineering to manage climate change and its implications for carbon emissions abatement policy. We show that solar geoengineering is a substitute for emissions abatement; optimal policy includes less abatement, by up to eight percentage points, and has a lower carbon price, by up to fifteen ...

Climate tipping points and solar geoengineering [PDF]
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2016 Abstract We study optimal climate policy in the presence of climate tipping points and solar geoengineering. Solar geoengineering reduces temperatures without reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Climate tipping points are irreversible and uncertain events that can alter the dynamics of the climate system.

A risk-based framework for assessing the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Geoengineering by stratospheric aerosol injection has been proposed as a policy response to warming from human emissions of greenhouse gases, but it may produce unequal regional impacts. We present a simple, intuitive risk-based framework for classifying
