Geoengineering as Collective Experimentation

, 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

Explicit feedback and the management of uncertainty in meeting climate objectives with solar geoengineering

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Solar geoengineering has been proposed as a method of meeting climate objectives, such as reduced globally averaged surface temperatures. However, because of incomplete understanding of the effects of geoengineering on the climate system, its ...

Weakened tropical circulation and reduced precipitation in response to geoengineering

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Geoengineering by injection of reflective aerosols into the stratosphere has been proposed as a way to counteract the warming effect of greenhouse gases by reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the surface.

The feasibility of using an L1 positioned dust cloud as a method of space-based geoengineering

, 2012
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.

Transboundary effects from idealized regional geoengineering

Environmental Research Communications, 2023
Regional geoengineering, by reflecting sunlight over a very limited spatial domain, might be considered as a means to target specific regional impacts of climate change.

Space-based geoengineering: challenges and requirements

, 2009
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.

Towards a comprehensive climate impacts assessment of solar geoengineering [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Deployment Strategy Shapes the Polar Climate Response to Marine Cloud Brightening

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar climate intervention strategy that increases marine cloud reflectivity to cool Earth's surface. While previous studies have largely examined its global temperature and precipitation effects, little is known about how MCB deployment strategies influence polar climate and sea ice.
