    • Climate response to aerosol geoengineering: a multi-method comparison 

      Muri, Helene; Tjiputra, Jerry; Otterå, Odd Helge; Adakudlu, Muralidhar; Lauvset, Siv Kari; Grini, Alf; Schulz, Michael; Niemeier, Ulrike; Kristjansson, Jon Egill (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Considering the ambitious climate targets of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2°C, with aspirations of even 1.5°C, questions arise on how to achieve this. Climate geoengineering has been proposed as a potential ...

    • Evaluating climate geoengineering proposals in the context of the Paris Agreement temperature goals 

      Lawrence, Mark G.; Schãfer, Stefan; Muri, Helene; Scott, Vivian; Oschlies, Andreas; Vaughan, Naomi E.; Boucher, Olivier; Schmidt, Hauke; Haywood, Jim M.; Scheffran, Jürgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Current mitigation efforts and existing future commitments are inadequate to accomplish the Paris Agreement temperature goals. In light of this, research and debate are intensifying on the possibilities of additionally ...

    • Extreme temperature and precipitation response to solar dimming and stratospheric aerosol geoengineering 

      Ji, Duoying; Fang, Songsong; Curry, Charles L.; Kashimura, Hiroki; Watanabe, Shingo; Cole, Jason N.S.; Lenton, Andrew; Muri, Helene Østlie; Kravitz, Ben; Moore, John C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We examine extreme temperature and precipitation under two potential geoengineering methods forming part of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). The solar dimming experiment G1 is designed to completely ...

    • Global streamflow and flood response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering 

      Wei, Liren; Ji, Duoying; Miao, Chiyuan; Muri, Helene; Moore, John C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Flood risk is projected to increase under future warming climates due to an enhanced hydrological cycle. Solar geoengineering is known to reduce precipitation and slow down the hydrological cycle and may therefore be ...

    • The scientific and community-building roles of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) – past, present, and future 

      Visioni, Daniele; Kravitz, Ben; Robock, Alan; Tilmes, Simone; Haywood, Jim M.; Boucher, Oliviér; Lawrence, Mark G.; Irvine, Peter J.; Niemeier, Ulrike; Chiodo, Gabriel; Lennard, Chris; Watanabe, Shingo; Moore, John C.; Muri, Helene Østlie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is a coordinating framework, started in 2010, that includes a series of standardized climate model experiments aimed at understanding the physical processes and ...

    • Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering could lower future risk of 'Day Zero' level droughts in Cape Town 

      Odoulami, Romaric C.; New, Mark; Wolski, Piotr; Guillemet, Gregory; Pinto, Izidine; Lennard, Christopher; Muri, Helene; Tilmes, Simone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Anthropogenic forcing of the climate is estimated to have increased the likelihood of the 2015–2017 Western Cape drought, also called 'Day Zero' drought, by a factor of three, with a projected additional threefold increase ...

    • The climate effects of increasing ocean albedo: an idealized representation of solar geoengineering 

      Kravitz, Ben; Rasch, Philip J.; Wang, Hailong; Robock, Alan; Gabriel, Corey; Boucher, Olivier; Cole, Jason N.S.; Haywood, Jim M.; Ji, Duoying; Jones, Andy; Lenton, Andrew; Moore, John C.; Muri, Helene; Niemeier, Ulrike; Phipps, Steven J.; Schmidt, Hauke; Watanabe, Shingo; Yang, Shuting; Yoon, Jin-Ho (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Geoengineering, or climate intervention, describes methods of deliberately altering the climate system to offset anthropogenic climate change. As an idealized representation of near-surface solar geoengineering over the ...

    • The role of large - scale BECCS in the pursuit of the 1.5°C target – an Earth system model perspective 

      Muri, Helene (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The increasing awareness of the many damaging aspects of climate change has prompted research into ways of reducing and reversing the anthropogenic increase in carbon concentrations in the atmosphere. Most emission scenarios ...
