Techno-moral change through solar geoengineering: How geoengineering challenges sustainability

Prometheus, 2022
This article brings a new perspective to the ethical debate on geoengineering through stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), incorporating the emerging techno-moral change scholarship into the discussion surrounding sustainability.

Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering

, 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 ...

Maximum Lifetime of the Vegetative Biosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We use a three‐dimensional model to calculate steady‐state climates at various intervals in Earth's future, across a parameter space of increasing insolation and decreasing CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ mixing ratio. Comparison with prior results shows an overestimation of warming by one‐dimensional models when solar constant is increased and CO2 ...

Sulfur Exposure for Airplane Passengers From Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Injection of sulfur dioxide to create a stratospheric sulfate aerosol cloud is the most studied method of climate intervention. It has been suggested that airplanes be used at high latitudes to create such a cloud at lower altitudes. Commercial airplanes routinely fly at altitudes of 11 km in the Arctic, and therefore passengers could be ...

Thermosteric and dynamic sea level under solar geoengineering

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
The IPCC sixth assessment report forecasts sea level rise (SLR) of up to 2 m along coasts by 2100 relative to 1995–2014 following business as usual (SSP585) scenarios. Geoengineering may reduce this threat.

The implications of ionospheric disturbances for precise GNSS positioning in Greenland

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2022
Ionospheric irregularities impair Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and, in turn, affect the performance of GNSS positioning. Such effects are especially evident at low and high latitudes, which are currently gaining the attention of ...

Highland Pathways Shape Global Dust Vertical Transport and Its Climate Effects

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Highlands govern global dust vertical transport, yet their region‐specific pathways and climatic impacts remain unclear. We found that although dust emissions from highlands are minimal, the dust content in the middle and upper atmosphere over highlands is high, identifying highlands as key dust conduits.

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

Global streamflow and flood response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
Flood risk is projected to increase under future warming climates due to an enhanced hydrological cycle. Solar geoengineering is known to reduce precipitation and slow down the hydrological cycle and may therefore be expected to offset increased flood

Characterising European Low Renewable Availability Events in Present and Future Climate Model Data

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Low renewable power events are an increasing concern for European electricity systems. Energy‐climate datasets provide a credible basis to explore these events, though care is needed in data handling. Storyline scenarios provide a tractable representation of diverse possible futures, but more extensive climate data is required to build confidence ...
