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 twodimensional
disciplinary maps. These maps relationally situate
the broad sub-domains that both import and export knowledge
from the field of geoengineering.
