Sulfur Exposure for Airplane Passengers From Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
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 ...

Historical Volcanic Eruptions Mitigated the Expected Rapid Arctic Sea Ice Decline Prior to 2000
Abstract Arctic sea ice has declined at sharply contrasting rates over the past four decades—modest before 2000 and rapid thereafter. Using observational and model evidence, we show that large tropical volcanic eruptions can trigger decade‐long Arctic sea ice recoveries, and that without the 1982 El Chichón and 1991 Pinatubo eruptions, Arctic sea ice ...

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

Resilience and plant growth forms 40 years after a volcanic disturbance
Abstract Resilience represents a critical concept in ecology; yet, quantitative assessment of resilience in response to disturbance is rare, even for widely recognized growth forms. Plant groups based on deciduousness, clonality, morphology, and Raunkiaer life form could predict inertia to major disturbances and subsequent resilience.

A new coastline formed during the 2021 eruption of La Palma quickly eroded, becoming crenellated and with pocket beaches, then retreated more gradually as resistant interiors of the lava were exposed. In contrast, a second thicker lava delta changed more gradually, highlighting the importance of lithology to coastal erosion.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...
