Solar Radiation Management: Scientific Foundations and Application Models

By Alexander Moreau

Climate change, geoengineering, atmospheric physics, and climate intervention technologies are among the most important scientific discussions of the modern era. This research-based work explores the scientific foundations, engineering concepts, environmental risks, and future application models of Solar Radiation Management (SRM). Combining atmospheric science, climate modeling, environmental engineering, and global policy analysis, the book explains how solar radiation shapes Earth's climate system and how emerging technologies may attempt to regulate it.

Readers will gain a detailed understanding of atmospheric radiation balance, shortwave and longwave radiation, aerosol-radiation interactions, cloud radiative effects, and energy balance models used in modern climate science. The book also examines major SRM technologies including stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, space-based solar reflector systems, and surface albedo enhancement methods.

In addition to the technical foundations, the work analyzes the possible impacts of climate intervention on global temperatures, precipitation systems, extreme weather events, ecosystems, and socio-economic structures. Satellite monitoring systems, climate observation networks, environmental risks, governance challenges, and future climate policy recommendations are also discussed.

Inside this book, readers will discover:
