The veneration that Asians hold for rivers was on Chu Duo's mind as he fiddled with his instruments -- a bevy of thermometers, barometers, solar-radiation meters, rainfall gauges -- in a small, flat field near Lhasa's Jokhang Temple, Tibet's holiest Buddhist monastery.
-
Non-human ecosystems are converted to the agro-urban-technological, primarily by water and solar-radiation rerouting, soil depletion, and fossil-fuel combustion.

Here we present an analysis of regional differences in a climate modified by solar-radiation management, using a large-ensemble modelling experiment that examines the impacts of 54 scenarios for global temperature stabilization.
-
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and her colleagues show, by modelling, that not only could solar-radiation management lead to declines in rainfall in the long term, but its effects will also vary by region.
