Description: This session focuses on ideas for intentional climate
modification through the manipulation of solar energy input to Earth via
processes internal or external to the atmosphere, so-called solar
radiation management. Examples include the injection of reflective
aerosols into the lower stratosphere, seeding of marine clouds to modify
their albedo, and placement of mirrors beyond the atmosphere to deflect
incoming sunlight. This session invites papers describing the most
recent scientific and engineering results on solar radiation control
strategies, including climate model experiments, designs for laboratory
or field experiments, possible deployment modalities, and the intended
and unintended consequences of all.
