Scenarios for modeling solar radiation modification [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Making informed future decisions about solar radiation modification (SRM; also known as solar geoengineering)—approaches such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) that would cool the climate by reflecting sunlight—requires projections of the climate response and associated human and ecosystem impacts.

The effects of solar radiation modification on solar and wind resource and power generation in the Caribbean [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe slow pace of global mitigation efforts has led to increased interest in Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) as a means for rapidly and artificially cooling the planet. Deploying SRM technologies, however, may directly alter renewable energy resources.

The interaction of solar radiation modification with Earth system tipping elements [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2023 The avoidance of hitting tipping points has been invoked as a significant benefit of solar radiation modification (SRM) techniques; however, the physical science underpinning this has thus far not been comprehensively assessed.

Potential implications of solar radiation modification for achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals [PDF]
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2021 AbstractSolar radiation modification, particularly stratospheric aerosol injection, holds the potential to reduce the impacts of climate change on sustainable development, yet could itself generate negative impacts and is subject to intense scholarly debate based on relatively little evidence.
