Report of a workshop on managing the contribution of solar radiation modification and climate change to global catastrophic risk by Futerman, G, Beard, SJ

“…<p>This report presents key findings from a workshop on managing the contribution of Solar Radiation Modification (SRM), a form of solar geoengineering, and Climate Change to Global Catastrophic Risk (GCR), which was hosted by Gideon Futerman and SJ Beard at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk on March 28th and 29th 2023. …”

Changes in apparent temperature and PM_2.5 around the Beijing–Tianjin megalopolis under greenhouse gas and stratospheric aerosol intervention scenarios by J. Wang, J. C. Moore, L. Zhao

“…Air temperature changes dominate differences in apparent temperatures between future scenarios even more than they do at present because the reductions in humidity expected under solar geoengineering are overwhelmed by rising vapor pressure due to rising temperatures and the lower wind speeds expected in the region in all future scenarios. …”

Opinion: The scientific and community-building roles of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) – past, present, and future by D. Visioni, B. Kravitz, B. Kravitz, A. Robock, S. Tilmes, J. Haywood, J. Haywood, O. Boucher, M. Lawrence, M. Lawrence, P. Irvine, U. Niemeier, L. Xia, G. Chiodo, C. Lennard, S. Watanabe, J. C. Moore, J. C. Moore, J. C. Moore, H. Muri

“…<p>The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is a coordinating framework, started in 2010, that includes a series of standardized climate model experiments aimed at understanding the physical processes and projected impacts of solar geoengineering. Numerous experiments have been conducted, and numerous more have been proposed as “test-bed” experiments, spanning a variety of geoengineering techniques aimed at modifying the planetary radiation budget: stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, surface albedo modification, cirrus cloud thinning, and sunshade mirrors. …”

PInc-PanTher estimates of Arctic permafrost soil carbon under the GeoMIP G6solar and G6sulfur experiments by A. Liu, A. Liu, J. C. Moore, J. C. Moore, J. C. Moore, Y. Chen, Y. Chen

“…<p>Circum-Arctic permafrost stores large amounts of frozen carbon that must be maintained to avoid catastrophic climate change. Solar geoengineering has the potential to cool the Arctic surface by increasing planetary albedo but could also reduce tundra productivity. …”
