Abstract. High-latitude low-altitude (HiLLA) Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) would face fewer logistical barriers than high-altitude low-latitude SAI, because it could use repurposed existing la...

We equip the world with the data and tools needed to make informed decisions about sunlight reflection, fast enough to matter.

If you were reborn today, where would you land? And how would that change your life?

This week, hosts Tom Rivett Carnac and Paul Dickinson delve into the rapidly emerging - and faintly surreal - world of solar geoengineering.

Wave of mass brutality accompanied the collapse of the first pan-European culture

Research into polar climate intervention is understandably controversial. The deliberate manipulation of Earth's climate has deep physical, political, an...

Two scientists argue that the growing commercial efforts to counter climate change by reflecting away sunlight will thwart responsible research in the field.

Science under pressure: Reflecting on conditions, practices and institutional structures for sustainable polar research

This study compares the impacts on extreme events under climate change with and without a multi-latitude Stratospheric Aerosol Injection strategy in UKESM1 G6controller reduces extreme heat relat...

Of course the climate crisis must be confronted, but history, tranquility and beauty must also count for something, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Since around 2006, I have been interested in speculations about geoengineering, that is, attempts to deal with climate change by directly intervening in the planet’s atmosphere, oceans, or land. Such interventions include pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or dampening solar radiation. In the UK there have been three inflection points in reflections about such ...

Abstract. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) is a form of climate intervention that has been proposed as a way to reflect incoming solar radiation in order to provide a cooling effect and offset so...

Trials will test ways to block sunlight and slow climate crisis that threatens to trigger catastrophic tipping points

Backed by £56.8m, this programme will explore whether approaches designed to delay, or avert, climate tipping points could be feasible, scalable, and safe.

Scientists previously have suggested that the hypothetical climate fix would require specialized high-altitude vehicles.

‘Stratospheric aerosol injection’ technique could put brakes on global warming, study finds, but with damaging knock-on effects

Seasonal SAI with low-altitude high-latitude injection achieves 35% of the forcing efficiency of a high-altitude subtropical strategy If injection altitude is limited to below 14 km, then high-la...

A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, acc...

Letters: Dr Matthew Henry and Prof Stuart Haszeldine respond to an article about the UK’s ‘gamble’ on the Aria programme

The critical infrastructure provided by NOAA and NWS cannot and will never be duplicated by the private sector.

Injecting pollutants into the atmosphere to reflect the sun would be extremely dangerous, but the UK is funding field trials

In the first ever African study modelling the impact of Marine Cloud Brightening on the African Climate, Romaric Odoulami and his team find that deployment location matters.
