Solar geoengineering and democracy by Horton, JB, Reynolds, JL, Buck, HJ, Callies, D, Schafer, S, Keith, DW, Rayner, SF

Solar geoengineering using solid aerosol in the stratosphere by D. K. Weisenstein, D. W. Keith, J. A. Dykema

“…Solid aerosol particles have long been proposed as an alternative to sulfate aerosols for solar geoengineering. Any solid aerosol introduced into the stratosphere would be subject to coagulation with itself, producing fractal aggregates, and with the natural sulfate aerosol, producing liquid-coated solids. …”

The Indonesian Throughflow circulation under solar geoengineering by C. Shen, J. C. Moore, H. Kuswanto, H. Kuswanto, L. Zhao

“…Climate models consistently predict a decline in ITF transport under global warming, but it has not yet been examined under solar geoengineering scenarios. We use standard parameterized methods for estimating the ITF – the Amended Island Rule and buoyancy forcing – to investigate the ITF under the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 greenhouse gas scenarios and the geoengineering experiments G6solar and G6sulfur, which reduce net global mean radiative forcing from SSP5-8.5 levels to SSP2-4.5 levels using solar dimming and sulfate aerosol injection strategies, respectively. …”

Thermosteric and dynamic sea level under solar geoengineering by Chao Yue, Svetlana Jevrejeva, Ying Qu, Liyun Zhao, John C. Moore

“…We use five Earth System Models simulations of two different solar geoengineering methods (solar dimming and stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection), that offset radiative forcing differences between SSP585 “no-mitigation” and the modest mitigation SSP245 greenhouse gas scenarios, to analyze the impact on global mean thermosteric and dynamic regional sea levels. …”

US Conservative and Libertarian Experts and Solar Geoengineering: An Assessment by Jean-Daniel Collomb

“…Specifically, the article looks at how prominent solar geoengineering is in the publications of free-market think tanks, gauges their level of support for or hostility toward solar geoengineering, and lists the arguments that they use for or against it. …”

Impact of solar geoengineering on wildfires in the 21st century in CESM2/WACCM6 by W. Tang, S. Tilmes, D. M. Lawrence, F. Li, C. He, L. K. Emmons, R. R. Buchholz, L. Xia

“…<p>We quantify future changes in wildfire burned area and carbon emissions in the 21st century under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios and two SSP5-8.5-based solar geoengineering scenarios with a target surface temperature defined by SSP2-4.5 – solar irradiance reduction (G6solar) and stratospheric sulfate aerosol injections (G6sulfur) – and explore the mechanisms that drive solar geoengineering impacts on fires. …”
