DOI: 10.1007/jhep07(2021)006
Abstract: Abstract We compute the albedo (or reflectivity) of electromagnetic waves off the electron-positron Hawking plasma that surrounds the horizon of a Quantum Black Hole. We adopt the “modified firewall conjecture” for fuzzballs [1, 2], where… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2016.08.015
Abstract: Abstract Deforestation affects climate and the energy balance of the Earth not only through the release of greenhouse gases but also through shifts in the physical properties of the surface. These physical effects can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b04556
Abstract: High-albedo materials reflect more solar radiation and, thereby, alter the earth's radiative balance. Increasing pavement albedo, therefore, has been considered as a technological strategy to mitigate global warming. Previous studies have evaluated the general potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2208778120
Abstract: Significance We find a strong connection between the magnitude of midlatitude storminess and cloud-albedo, thereby linking the large-scale circulation to the planetary albedo. We use this linkage to propose a mechanism for the observed similarity… read more here.
