Atmospheric Aerosols 2015, pp 287-294 Date: 19 May 2015 Aerosol-Based Climate Engineering Olivier Boucher Abstract This chapter introduces climate engineering as a range of techniques aiming to alleviate the impacts of climate change. Two aerosol-based techniques, known as stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening, are discussed in terms of their potential, side effects, and shortcomings. The climate’s response to aerosol-based climate engineering is assessed using the concepts of climate feedbacks and rapid adjustments. The chapter ends on the issue of the termination and other risks associated to such techniques. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
