Talk:Planetary engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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)

[edit] GeoEngineering is a real discipline

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
