Doelle, Meinhard (2014): Geo-engineering and Dispute Settlement under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC

Doelle, Meinhard (2014): Geo-engineering and Dispute Settlement under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC. Stormy Seas Ahead? (Schulich School of Law Working Paper Series).

This paper considers the potential for the UNCLOS and UNFCCC regimes to be faced with disputes at the intersection between the management of climate change and ocean governance. Using the example of geo-engineering[.]“

Tilmes, S.; et al. (2014): Can regional climate engineering save the summer Arctic Sea-Ice?

Tilmes, S.; Jahn, Alexandra; Kay, Jennifer E.; Holland, Marika; Lamarque, Jean-Francois (2014): Can regional climate engineering save the summer Arctic Sea-Ice? (accepted). In Geophys. Res. Lett., pp. n/a. DOI 10.1002/2013GL058731.

„Regional Arctic climate engineering has been suggested as an emergency strategy to save the sea-ice. Model simulations of idealized regional dimming experiments compared to a business-as-usual greenhouse gas emission simulation demonstrate the importance of both local and remote feedback mechanisms to the surface energy budget in high latitudes.“

Schultz, Colin (2013) Sudden geoengineering termination could cause a huge warming spike

Schultz, Colin (2013): Sudden geoengineering termination could cause a huge warming spike. In Eos Trans. AGU 94 (52), p. 512. DOI 10.1002/2013EO520009.

„In a new modeling study looking at the consequences of geoengineering gone awry, Jones et al. found that the sudden termination of a large-scale geoengineering project could drive half a century’s worth of warming in just a few years.“
