The terraforming of Venus or the terraformation of Venus is the hypothetical process of engineering the global environment of the planet Venus in order to make it suitable for human habitation. [1] [2] [3] Adjustments to the existing environment of Venus to support human life would require at least three major changes to the planet's atmosphere ...
Model of crustal plateau and tessera terrain formation via mantle downwelling after Gilmore (1998). Venus In situ Composition Investigations ( VICI ) is a concept lander mission to Venus in order to answer long-standing questions about its origins and evolution, and provide new insights needed to understand terrestrial planet formation ...
In a series of subsequent papers, Basilevsky and colleagues extensively developed a model that Guest and Stofan (1999) [22] termed the "directional history" for Venus evolution. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] [ 25 ] The general idea is that there is a global stratigraphy that progresses from heavily deformed tessera, to heavily deformed, then moderately ...
A variety of planetary engineering challenges stand in the way of terraforming efforts. The atmospheric terraforming of Mars, for example, would require "significant quantities of gas" to be added to the Martian atmosphere. [4] This gas has been thought to be stored in solid and liquid form within Mars' polar ice caps and underground reservoirs.
A simple Venus global strata base on Ivanov and Head's model (2011) (Note that it is just a simple global strata, not every region on Venus has this strata.) Under the Global stratigraphic Classification Scheme, by correlating the units mentioned above (Mikhail A. Ivano and James W. Head, 2011), [ 13 ] the researchers suggested three phases of ...

The surface of Venus is comparatively flat. When 93% of the topography was mapped by Pioneer Venus Orbiter, scientists found that the total distance from the lowest point to the highest point on the entire surface was about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi), about the same as the vertical distance between the Earth's ocean floor and the higher summits of the Himalayas.
