As the Earth inches closer to 2°C of average warming above pre-industrial levels, some scientists aren’t just interested in how to cut emissions. They’re also interested in how to buy the planet more ...

The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. Heat records are routinely broken. Wildfire seasons are more extreme. Hurricane strength is increasing. Sea ...

Fed up with a lack of action on climate change, some students are researching dimming the sun despite the pushback from other scientists.

A study reports that scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere -- a theoretical form of climate engineering known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection' -- has potential to slow rapid ...

Members of the inaugural MEng C&SE cohort reflect on how Duke’s interdisciplinary climate engineering program prepared them for careers in consulting, climate policy and corporate sustainability.

Launching reflective clouds and locking up ocean-caught carbon to cool the Earth may sound like science fiction, but both geoengineering approaches are part of a futuristic world that is already here, ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Climate engineering is a last ditch effort to protect humans from climate change – and we’re getting closer every day. Unfortunately, attempts of scientists to study the ...

Shivani Dharanipragada ‘25, is a computer science and economics major and was a 2022-23 environmental ethics fellow with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Views are her own. As Earth’s climate ...

After decades of trying to stop Earth from heating up, scientists are exploring how to reverse climate change and maybe even cool the planet back down. Could clouds be brightened so they reflect more ...

Life has transformed our world over billions of years, turning a dead rock into the lush, fertile planet we know today. But human activity is currently transforming Earth again, this time by releasing ...

Climate change is affecting the types of plant varieties we can cultivate, as well as how and where we can do so. A new collection of articles in the open access journal PLOS Biology explores the twin ...
