Experiment Earth? Report on a public dialogue on geoengineering
„NERC carried out a public dialogue on geoengineering to assess public opinion on how future research relating to the subject should be directed, conducted and communicated.“
The Regulation of Geoengineering: Fifth Report of Session 2009–10
From the House of Commons – Science and Technology Commitee: Report, together with formal minutes, oral and written evidence.
Launder, Brian Edward; Thompson, John Michael Tutill (Hg.) (2010): Geo-engineering climate change. Environmental necessity or Pandora‘s box?
Launder, Brian Edward; Thompson, John Michael Tutill (Hg.) (2010): Geo-engineering climate change. Environmental necessity or Pandora‘s box? Cambridge.
„The first book to present a critical appraisal of the geo-scale engineering interventions proposed as potential measures to counter the devastation of run-away global warming.“
Oxford Geoengineering
„The Oxford Geoengineering Programme will use primary research to examine the engineering processes and associated risks of schemes to geoengineer the Earth’s climate in the context of these key scientific, ethical and governance questions. The Programme aims to establish Oxford as the pre-eminent centre in the United Kingdom and internationally for the integrated study of geoengineering.“
Memorandum on draft principles for the conduct of geoengineering research: enquiry into The Regulation of Geoengineering, (aka Oxford Principles)
Principles for regulation of CE. „In this memorandum, we present a set of draft principles for the conduct of geoengineering research, which we suggest as a framework to act as a starting point for the collaborative development of international regulation.“

Bickel, Eric; Lane, Lee (2009): An Analysis of Climate Engineering as a Response to Climate Change. Copenhagen Consensus Center. Frederiksberg (Analysis Paper).
„This paper offers a preliminary and exploratory assessment of the potential benefits and costs of climate engineering (CE). We examine two families of CE technologies, solar radiation management (SRM) and air capture (AC), under three emissions control environments: no controls, optimal abatement, and limiting temperature change to 2°C.“
