Geoengineering, geological engineering, engineering geology, or geotechnical engineering deals with the discovery, development, and production and use of subsurface earth resources, as well as the design and construction of earth works. Geoengineering is the application of geosciences, where mechanics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geology are used to understand and shape our interaction with the earth. Geoengineers work in areas of mining, including surface and subsurface excavations, and rock burst mitigation; energy, including hydraulic fracturing and drilling for exploration and production of water, oil, or gas; infrastructure, including underground transportation systems and isolation of nuclear and hazardous wastes; and environment, including groundwater flow, contaminant transport and remediation, and hydraulic structures. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoengineering
Tony Dokoupil of NBC News discusses the policy debate of climate engineering with Director of Weather Modification Jeff Tilley and Professor of Science James R. Fleming who states “most anything can go wrong.”
