Mapping potential surface contributions to reflected solar radiation by Brian V Smoliak, Michel Gelobter, Jeff T Haley

“…Atmospheric contributions to reflected solar radiation through stratospheric aerosols or cloud brightening have received considerable attention; however, the efficacy of surface interventions is less understood. We address this gap by estimating the potential for surface contributions to reflected solar radiation at approximately 30 km resolution using a simple radiative transfer model. …”

Acute Treatment of Traumatic Tattooing With Dermabrasion: A Case Report by Khalifa Al Alawi, Alreem Al Khayarin, Hanaa Al Kalbani, Sultan Al Shaqsi

“…Compared to laser therapy, which requires multiple sessions and carries risk of incomplete clearance in particulate-laden wounds, or surgical excision, which may cause contour deformity, dermabrasion offers immediate, broad-surface intervention with relatively low morbidity. This case underscores dermabrasion’s value as a first-line modality for acute traumatic tattoos, especially where resources constrain advanced laser platforms. …”
