Anthropo-centric transformation of Mars will instigate a new kind of Geo-evolutionism. By applying Planetary Science’s principles to both the organic and inorganic realms humans shall ultimately discover, perhaps, a multi-global grand-plan for both: geologic processes and events effect changes that may foster new processes and events that bring about new affective changes. Artificial creation of a Mars ocean, utilized by specialized shipping and stocked with selected aquatic organisms, ought to prove, or disprove, some aspects of Geo-evolutionism’s geologic-biotic hypothesis and, as well, provide Mars settlers with an interesting ecoindustrial region.

Mars may have an open Rock Cycle. After humans settle Mars a closed Rock Cycle may be instigated. Were even a small-scale anthropogenic closed Rock Cycle initiated it would be consistent with James Hutton’s viewpoint on change through Geological Time: the Mars-crust could then become a self-repairing “machine”. Oneiric macro-engineers foresee the real possibility of such a technogenic event-process commencing this century.
