Paul Jozef Crutzen. 3 December 1933—28 January 2021

Dec 1, 2022 - Paul J. Crutzen was both a warm-hearted person and a brilliant scientist. His research interests were broad, encompassing topics of relevance in the mesosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere. He made fundamental scientific contributions to a

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

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

Global and Arctic climate engineering: numerical model studies

Aug 29, 2008 - We perform numerical simulations of the atmosphere, sea ice and upper ocean to examine possible effects of diminishing incoming solar radiation, insolation, on the climate system. We simulate both global and Arctic climate engineering in idealized

Mapping the landscape of climate engineering

Dec 28, 2014 - In the absence of a governance framework for climate engineering technologies such as solar radiation management (SRM), the practices of scientific research and intellectual property acquisition can de facto shape the development of the field. It is
