Peatland geoengineering: an alternative approach to terrestrial carbon sequestration

Sep 13, 2012 - Terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems contribute almost equally to the sequestration of ca 50 per cent of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and already play a role in minimizing our impact on Earth’s climate. On land, the majority of the sequestered

Field experiments on solar geoengineering: report of a workshop exploring a representative research portfolio

Dec 28, 2014 - We summarize a portfolio of possible field experiments on solar radiation management (SRM) and related technologies. The portfolio is intended to support analysis of potential field research related to SRM including discussions about the overall

Lifting options for stratospheric aerosol geoengineering: advantages of tethered balloon systems

Sep 13, 2012 - The Royal Society report ‘Geoengineering the Climate’ identified solar radiation management using albedo-enhancing aerosols injected into the stratosphere as the most affordable and effective option for geoengineering, but did not consider in

Stratospheric controlled perturbation experiment: a small-scale experiment to improve understanding of the risks of…

Dec 28, 2014 - Although solar radiation management (SRM) through stratospheric aerosol methods has the potential to mitigate impacts of climate change, our current knowledge of stratospheric processes suggests that these methods may entail significant risks. In

Not Flash, just Gordon.

We have since seen similar work with Synthetic Biology, Stem Cell research, Genetic Databases, Geoengineering and more.

Cooling the world with crops

Europe and North America’s massive agricultural plantations could be harnessed to cool the globe in the face of global warming according to Dr Joy Singarayer, speaking at the Royal Society's Discussion Meeting: Geoengineering - taking control
