Title
Rainmakers, space mirrors and atmospheric vacuums: a bibliometric mapping of geoengineering research
Abstract
This poster presents preliminary results from an informetric study of geoengineering publications. As a field of research geoengineering is loosely defined as the intentional modification of the Earth's environment to stabilize, correct, or ameliorate climate change. A broad overview of the policy and practical implications of geoengineering strategies are discussed, as well as evidence of a growing body of cited scholarly publications. A technique of bibliometric mapping is used to display correlations between keywords attached to a corpus of geoengineering publications. Past studies have shown this technique to be particularly useful for revealing sub-domains that are affecting the evolution of a new field of study. Preliminary results, in the form of keyword co-occurrence clusters are discussed as two-dimensional disciplinary maps. These maps relationally situate the broad sub-domains that both import and export knowledge from the field of geoengineering.
