Process-model simulations of cloud albedo enhancement by aerosols in the Arctic

Dec 28, 2014 - A cloud-resolving model is used to simulate the effectiveness of Arctic marine cloud brightening via injection of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), either through geoengineering or other increased sources of Arctic aerosols. An updated cloud

Marine cloud brightening

Sep 13, 2012 - The idea behind the marine cloud-brightening (MCB) geoengineering technique is that seeding marine stratocumulus clouds with copious quantities of roughly monodisperse sub-micrometre sea water particles might significantly enhance the cloud droplet

Seven days in science - 8 November 2010

The Royal Society is a Fellowship of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. We aim to expand the frontiers of knowledge by championing the development and use of science, mathematics,

Pleistocene Arctic megafaunal ecological engineering as a natural climate solution?

Mar 16, 2020 - Natural climate solutions (NCS) in the Arctic hold the potential to be implemented at a scale able to substantially affect the global climate. The strong feedbacks between carbon-rich permafrost, climate and herbivory suggest an NCS consisting of

Seven days in science - 8 November 2010

The discussion meeting Geoengineering - taking control of our planet's climate, which takes at the Royal Society between 8 and 9 November 2010, considers the state of the new science of ... Geoengineering’ and its implications to society.

Negative emissions technologies and carbon capture and storage to achieve the Paris Agreement commitments

May 13, 2018 - How will the global atmosphere and climate be protected? Achieving net-zero CO2 emissions will require carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce current GHG emission rates, and negative emissions technology (NET) to recapture previously emitted
