Differentiating Solar Radiation Modification Field Experiments: Scale, Technical Characteristics, and Governance Implications

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Proposed solar radiation modification (SRM) field experiments are receiving growing scientific and policy attention, with several localized experiments having occurred or under development. While they may be critical for improving technical understanding and reducing uncertainties, SRM field experiments remain controversial and inadequately ...

Projected Future of African Marine Ecosystems Under Climate Change and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) has been proposed as a potential strategy to cool the planet. The ARISE‐SAI‐1.5 approach, which employes a moderate emission scenario, is simulated to limit future global warming to 1.5°C by injecting aerosols into the stratosphere in the year 2035.

Public concerns about solar geoengineering research in the United States

Communications Earth & Environment
Solar geoengineering is receiving increased private research funding at a time of growing social media speculation about government weather control. This can complicate public deliberation on solar geoengineering research.

Contrasting medium and genre on Wikipedia to open up the dominating definition and classification of geoengineering

Big Data & Society, 2016
Geoengineering is typically defined as a techno-scientific response to climate change that differs from mitigation and adaptation, and that includes diverse individual technologies, which can be classified as either solar radiation management or carbon ...

Defining Scales of Field Studies and Experiments to Assess Marine Cloud Brightening

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solar radiation modification (SRM) is being discussed as a potential option for addressing climate risks while atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are reduced to lower levels. However, understanding of the potential efficacy, impacts, benefits and harms of different SRM approaches remains limited.

Public perceptions on solar geoengineering from focus groups in 22 countries

Communications Earth & Environment
Solar geoengineering maintains a vocal presence as a stop-gap measure in assessments of climate and sustainability action. In this paper, we map prospective benefits and risks, and corresponding governance approaches, regarding three major proposals for ...

Profit-seeking solar geoengineering exemplifies broader risks of market-based climate governance

Earth System Governance
Despite uncertainties about its feasibility and desirability, start-up companies seeking to profit from solar geoengineering have begun to emerge. One company is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to sell “cooling credits”, claiming that the ...

Field Observations of Sea Ice Thickening by Artificial Flooding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Arctic sea ice is retreating at a high rate, also due to the positive ice‐albedo feedback loop: as ice melts and disappears, it reflects less sunlight, further accelerating ocean warming. One proposed way to slow the retreat is by thickening sea ice in winter, increasing its chances of surviving summer melt.

Tropical Pacific climate variability under solar geoengineering: impacts on ENSO extremes [PDF]

, 2020
Many modelling studies suggest that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), in interaction with the tropical Pacific background climate, will change with rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.

A Model Intercomparison Study to Investigate Mixing Characteristics in Non‐Precipitating Stratocumulus Clouds

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Recent aircraft observations of marine stratocumulus clouds consistently showed that cloud microphysical relationships vary with altitude, indicating inhomogeneous mixing characteristics near cloud top and homogeneous mixing characteristics in mid‐levels of clouds.
