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

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 ...

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).

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 ...

On solar geoengineering and climate uncertainty [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractUncertain climate system response has been raised as a concern regarding solar geoengineering. We explore the effects of geoengineering on one source of climate system uncertainty by evaluating the intermodel spread across 12 climate models participating in the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison project.

Thermodynamic and dynamic responses of the hydrological cycle to solar dimming [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 The fundamental role of the hydrological cycle in the global climate system motivates a thorough evaluation of its responses to climate change and mitigation. The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is a coordinated international effort

Strategic incentives for climate geoengineering coalitions to exclude broad participation
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Solar geoengineering is the deliberate reduction in the absorption of incoming solar radiation by the Earth’s climate system with the aim of reducing impacts of anthropogenic climate change.

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 ...
