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

Impact of solar geoengineering on temperature-attributable mortality. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ADecisions about solar geoengineering (SG) entail risk–risk tradeoffs between the direct risks of SG and SG’s ability to reduce climate risks. Quantitative comparisons between these risks are needed to inform public policy. We evaluate idealized SG’s effectiveness in reducing deaths from warming using two climate models and an econometric analysis of ...

Stratospheric solar geoengineering without ozone loss. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 Significance The combination of emissions cuts and solar geoengineering could reduce climate risks in ways that cannot be achieved by emissions cuts alone: It could keep Earth under the 1.5-degree mark agreed at Paris, and it might stop sea level rise this century. However, this promise comes with many risks.

Top lesson from COVID for solar geoengineering: Anticipatory research is needed
Frontiers in Climate, 2022 This perspective article argues that anticipatory research into possible “emergency” response measures such as solar geoengineering will increase knowledge, and thus confidence, in any future decisions to either deploy or reject these technologies ...

Impacts of three types of solar geoengineering on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Climate models simulate lower rates of North Atlantic heat transport under greenhouse gas climates than at present due to a reduction in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

Gravitationally bound geoengineering dust shade at the inner Lagrange point [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a novel method of space-based geoengineering which uses the mass of a captured near Earth asteroid to gravitationally anchor a cloud of unprocessed dust in the vicinity of the L1 position to reduce the level of solar insolation at ...

Geoengineering: Basic science and ongoing research efforts in China
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2015 Geoengineering (also called climate engineering), which refers to large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system to counteract greenhouse gas-induced warming, has been one of the most rapidly growing areas of climate research as a potential ...
