An Update on Engineering Issues Concerning Stratospheric Aerosol Injection for Geoengineering [PDF]
Environmental Research Communications, 2020 Abstract Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering is a proposed response to anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is one proposed method, reliant on lofting material into the stratosphere.

Stratospheric residence time and the lifetime of volcanic stratospheric aerosols [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsThe amount of time that volcanic aerosols spend in the stratosphere is one of the primary factors influencing the climate impact of volcanic eruptions.

Changing transport processes in the stratosphere by radiative heating of sulfate aerosols [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 The injection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the stratosphere to form an artificial stratospheric aerosol layer is discussed as an option for solar radiation management.

Short- and long-term stratospheric impact of smoke from the 2019–2020 Australian wildfires [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 At the end of December 2019 and beginning of 2020, massive firestorms in Australia formed pyrocumulonimbus clouds (pyroCbs) that acted like enormous smokestacks, pumping smoke to the upper troposphere and stratosphere.

Record-breaking aerosol levels explained by smoke injection into the stratosphere
Science, 2021 Smoke alarm Intense, widespread bushfires in Australia injected huge amounts of smoke into the stratosphere in 2020. Hirsch and Koren found that this smoke caused record-breaking levels of aerosols over the Southern Hemisphere, as much as that from a moderate volcanic eruption.
