Talk:Planetary engineering

message: A few of us have been trying to start up a new Wikipedia:WikiProject Space Colonization (shortcut WP:SPACE) to organize work on topics of direct relevance to planetary engineering. Hop on over if you're interested. - Reaverdrop 16:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: "Politics of geoengineering"

message: Uh, guys... geoengineers actually exist - it's a subset of Civil Engineering.  GeoEngineers and do the following things:
* Foundation Engineering
* Soil Mechanics (i.e. anytime you build any building you must look at the soil strength)
* Geothermal Energy
* Seismic Hazards/ Earthquakes
* Rock Mechanics - e.g. tunnels, mines etc.
* Geophysical Surveys
* Dams/Hydro/ Levees (think Katrina)
* Environmental remediation/design
* Petroleum
* Mining
* Geology...
* Tsunami stuff
* ETC
ANY large scale Civil Engineering Product
===I think you're thinking of Geotechnical Engineering===
What UC Berkley calls "Geoengineering" is what most people would refer to as Geotechnical Engineering.  In most of the current scientific literature (Science, Nature, etc), geoengineering is specifically the science of environmental remediation through large scale planning.

thread_title: I think you're thinking of Geotechnical Engineering

message: Whoever wrote most of the geoengineering section seemed to be under the false impression that accidental human-induced climate change should be considered planetary engineering.  of "engineering," however, implies intent that was not present during the industrial revolution beginnings of global warming.
Geoengineering is about planned environmental remediation.  I've edited and clarified it somewhat, but it still needs work.
