Abstract

Solar geoengineering aims at cooling the climate by decreasing the solar radiation entering the climate system through changing the reflectivity (albedo) of the Earth. To achieve this, it has been suggested to increase the albedo of clouds, paint surfaces white or inject reflecting particles into the stratosphere. Research on these topics is active and is based mainly on numerical modelling studies. The possible deployment of these methods raises questions on their technological feasibility, side effects, uncertainties, governance and ethics. This article presents a review of the solar radiation management methods.

Hi All

Can anyone tell me about how to get beyond the library label?

I am very impressed at the ability of the International Atomic Energy Agency to write papers on non-atomic subjects without consulting people working in the field.

Stephen

Stephen,

The IAEA works on many non-atomic/radioactivity issues. For example the IAEA Marine Environmental Laboratories in Monaco works on a variety of non-radioactive pollutant issues - see https://www.iaea.org/about/organizational-structure/department-of-nuclear-sciences-and-applications/division-of-iaea-environment-laboratories/marine-environmental-studies-laboratory.
