so的用法
The reasoning is that if you replenish the ice sheets and frozen waters of the high latitudes, more light will be reflected back into space, so reducing the warming of the oceans and atmosphere.
这里的so reducing是什么用法？

此处的so用于表示结果。例如：
High doses (more than 5 g per day) increasingly suppress proximal tubular reabsorption, so causing hyperuricosuria.
Chief reason was the shrinkage of the Exchange's daily turnover, so reducing members' incomes that they were having to reduce their office personnel, dispense with faithful, valued employees.
上述so的用法和语义跟thus差不多，只是后者更为常见也较为正式。例如：
The introduction of the euro led to a rise in prices thus causing inflation.
As the ligand binds, heat is either generated or absorbed, thus raising or lowering the temperature in the cell. (Encyclopedia of Life Sciences)
so和thus的这种用法主要表示上下文的语义逻辑联系：前者为因，后者为果。但因为-ing分句本身也可以表示结果，所以在语义明确并通顺的情况下，so和thus通常不必出现。例如：
Appetite is lessened, resulting in weight loss and dietary problems.
Many of the men returned home, causing local unemployment.
其它表示结果功能的还有accordingly, as a result, consequently, hence, thereby, therefore等。这些在Quirk语法中被称之为 conjunct (联加状语)，在其它一些语法模型中可能被称之为conjunctor或者conjunctive/connective /linking adjunct等不一而足。可译为连接语、连接状语、连接纽带、连接性状语等等。 但这些名称都是根据这些词语（副词或介词短语）的功能而赋予的称谓，并非词典中用来标明词类（word classes）的术语。
另外，联加状语多用于连接两个句子或分句。上述so和thus后接-ing分句，相对比较少见。
