geoengineeringn.

Brit.

/ˌdʒiːəʊɛn(d)ʒᵻˈnɪərɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˌdʒioʊˌɛndʒəˈnɪrɪŋ/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: geo- comb. form, engineering n.

Etymology: < geo- comb. form + engineering n.

The application of large-scale engineering methods to modify rock formations or other features of the natural environment; (in later use esp.) the modification of the global environment or the climate in order to counter or ameliorate climate change.
