KIM, Jung-Eun (2013): Implications of Current Developments in International Liability for the Practice of Marine Geo-engineering Activities

KIM, Jung-Eun (2013): Implications of Current Developments in International Liability for the Practice of Marine Geo-engineering Activities. In: AsianJIL, S. 1–26. DOI: 10.1017/S2044251313000283.

„One of the key purposes of the liability regime could be to make ocean users more cautious when exploring and exploiting the oceans through charging cleaning costs or imposing compensation for damage. This paper aims to identify such a preventative effect of the international liability regime, in particular, state liability.“

Kleidon, A.; Renner, M. (2013): A simple explanation for the sensitivity of the hydrologic cycle to surface temperature and solar radiation and its implications for global climate change

Kleidon, A.; Renner, M. (2013): A simple explanation for the sensitivity of the hydrologic cycle to surface temperature and solar radiation and its implications for global climate change. In: Earth Syst. Dynam. 4 (2), S. 455–465. DOI: 10.5194/esd-4-455-2013.

„We illustrate an implication of this explanation for geoengineering, which aims to undo surface temperature differences by solar radiation management. Our results show that when such an intervention compensates surface warming, it cannot simultaneously compensate the changes in hydrologic cycling because of the differences in sensitivities for solar vs. greenhouse-induced surface warming.„
