Martyn J. Fogg (born 3 July 1960)[1] is a British physicist and geologist, an expert on terraforming.
Biography[]
After becoming a dental surgeon, Martyn John Fogg graduated in physics and geology and a master in astrophysics. He obtained his M.S. in astrophysics at Queen Mary College of the University of London with a thesis on origin and distribution of free-floating planets in 2002, and a Ph.D in planetary science with work on the dynamics of planetary formation involving the modelling of the formation of terrestrial planets in the presence of giant planet migration in 2008.[1] Fogg lives in London.
Research[]
Contributions to global engineering[]
Fogg's scientific work started in 1985, with work on simulating extrasolar planetary systems.[2] Starting in 1987, Fogg began research on terraforming,[3][4] and published a series of articles on the subject, primarily in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. He served as guest editor for a special issue on the subject in 1991. In 1995 this work culminated in the book Terraforming: Engineering Planetary Environments,[5] the first textbook on the subject of terraforming.
In addition to Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, he has published in various journals including: Icarus, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Comments on Astrophysics, Advances in Space Research. and Earth, Moon, and Planets, as well as presenting papers at various scientific and technical conferences.
Planetary migration[]
Since the 2000s, his research has focused on dynamics of planet formation, and the effects of the migration of planets such as hot Jupiters on early solar system formation.[6][7][8]
