- The book-length output Terraforming was the outcome of a sustained and complex engagement with a large body of material. Over 25 novels and 20 short stories are analysed but over 150 novels and 350 short stories published throughout the 20th and 21st centuries were consulted, requiring extensive archival research at the Science Fiction Foundation (University of Liverpool). An interview with Frederick Turner was also conducted. Multiple disciplinary domains, from engineering, planetary and ocean science, environmental philosophy, sustainability science, postcolonialism, ecocriticism and SF Studies informs the critical approach undertaken and an MA in Environmental Philosophy was audited to support this research.
