Terraforming Mars: a review of current research
Abstract
It is possible in the future that Mars might be transformed into a habitable planet by a process of global environmental engineering known as terraforming. This paper provides a thumb-nail sketch of the terraforming concepts that have appeared in the technical literature, focussing on the steps required in order to render Mars fit for anaerobic life. Its intention is to provide a referenced guide of progress to date for any future researchers of the subject.
