Geoengineering as Collective Experimentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Geoengineering is defined as the 'deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climatic system with the aim of reducing global warming'. The technological proposals for doing this are highly speculative. Research is at an early stage, but there

Solar Geoengineering Modeling and Applications for Mitigating Global Warming: Assessing Key Parameters and the Urban Heat Island Influence

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
In this paper, solar geoengineering modeling is presented with a goal to simplify reverse forcing assessments and the capability to apply it to a wide variety of applications.

Geoengineering: Basic science and ongoing research efforts in China

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Top lesson from COVID for solar geoengineering: Anticipatory research is needed

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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).

Strategic incentives for climate geoengineering coalitions to exclude broad participation

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Thermodynamic and dynamic responses of the hydrological cycle to solar dimming [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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

Overlooked Long‐Term Atmospheric Chemical Feedbacks Alter the Impact of Solar Geoengineering: Implications for Tropospheric Oxidative Capacity

open access: yesAGU 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 ...

Northern-high-latitude permafrost and terrestrial carbon response to two solar geoengineering scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2023
The northern-high-latitude permafrost contains almost twice the carbon content of the atmosphere, and it is widely considered to be a non-linear and tipping element in the earth's climate system under global warming.
