Simulations indicate that injecting aerosols into the stratosphere could mitigate the melting of ice sheets caused by global warming. One of the many effects of…
Renewable resource has potential to revolutionize our energy system. In an indication of growing interest in the holy grail of geothermal energy—tapping into the superhot…
Using geoengineering techniques, the climate could theoretically be artificially influenced and cooled. Scientists from Bern have now explored the feasibility of halting the melting of…
Geoengineering the climate would have massive repercussions for the health of billions of people at risk of malaria who live in tropical countries, according to…
The technology’s regional impacts depend on how much greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. Could we create massive sulfuric acid clouds that limit global warming and…
Solar geoengineering proposals will weaken extratropical storm tracks in both hemispheres, scientists find. How can the world combat the continued rise in global temperatures? How…
Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is the idea that adding a layer of aerosol particles to the upper atmosphere can reduce climate changes caused by greenhouse gases…
One of the scientific tools being considered to reduce the impacts of climate change is solar geoengineering, or the injection of aerosols into the atmosphere…
In a newly published study, scientists from MIT reveal unintended consequences of an idea to stimulate ocean phytoplankton growth in order to geoengineer a cooler…
Last July, a chartered fishing boat strewed 100 tonnes of iron sulfate into the ocean, off the western coast of Canada. The goal was to…
Scottish scientists have proposed to use a giant space-based dust cloud, blasted off an asteroid, to shade the Earth from the sun. Deliberately manipulating the…
