A geographer specializing in macroengineering. Richard Cathcart is the author of many papers and articles dealing with novel aspects of superscale engineering and astroengineering projects. A number of these pieces can be seen on this website by going here. He was awarded an MA in Geography and founded GEOGRAPHOS, a Burbank, California, consultancy, in 1969. His current research interests include the history of anthropogeomorphology and terraforming; in 1995 he completed a 600-page textbook on these subjects which emphasizes the geopolitical aspects of famous as well as little-known macroproject proposals. Although this book is unpublished, the first chapter of it can be read here.
Macro-Engineering: A Challenge for the Future, edited by Cathcart, Viorel Badescu, and R. D Schuiling, was published by Springer in 2006. With Alexander Bolonkin, Cathcart has co-authored Macro-Projects: Environment and Technology, published by Nova Science Publishers in 2009.
