A risk-based framework for assessing the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Geoengineering by stratospheric aerosol injection has been proposed as a policy response to warming from human emissions of greenhouse gases, but it may produce unequal regional impacts. We present a simple, intuitive risk-based framework for classifying

Mitigation of Arctic permafrost carbon loss through stratospheric aerosol geoengineering [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Rising temperatures in the Arctic can lead to the release of vast amounts of carbon stored in permafrost soils. Here the authors show that stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection geoengineering can help to avoid about 14 gigatons of carbon release and US$

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2018 Purpose - Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult owing to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategies are proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Impact of Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering on Meteorological Droughts in West Africa
Atmosphere, 2022 This study assesses changes in meteorological droughts in West Africa under a high greenhouse gas scenario, i.e., a representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5), and under a scenario of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG) deployment.

Robust winter warming over Eurasia under stratospheric sulfate geoengineering – the role of stratospheric dynamics [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 It has been suggested that increased stratospheric sulfate aerosol loadings following large, low latitude volcanic eruptions can lead to wintertime warming over Eurasia through dynamical stratosphere–troposphere coupling.
