Solar geoengineering aims to reduce the amount of solar radiation hitting the earth’s surface in order to cool it.

Costing up to $200 trillion and spanning decades, it could be the lifeline humanity needs to reach net-zero goals.

Some scientists see solar geoengineering as a "Plan B" for the climate crisis, while others fear it enables fossil fuel ...

If there’s one thing humans hate, it’s exercising willpower. Whether its abstaining from unhealthy foods, going to bed early, or using less energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we ...

Dropping diamond dust from an airplane and letting it scatter throughout the atmosphere could help cool the planet, according to newfound evidence. A team of researchers from several institutions ...

Description: The goal of the Nano-Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (NanoSAM) mission is to produce a compact method of measuring aerosol concentration in the stratosphere. NanoSAM aims to fill the ...

Modeling nuclear and impact winter to understand the effect of stratospheric aerosols on atmospheric dynamics, ocean circulation, ocean biogeochemistry, and ocean ecosystem responses. Coupe, J. and ...

While stratospheric aerosol injection is a theoretically promising option, artificial release of sulfur dioxide also poses a number of climate risks. Sulfate aerosols contain sulfuric acid ...
