    The​ Merapi Terraforming Project is an art-science project on the Merapi volcano in Indonesia was set up after a large eruption in 2010. The Merapi Terraforming Project used nitrogen-fixing bacteria to help grow legumes in a structure on the flanks of the volcano as both an experiment in food production and a monument to the traumatic past of the location. The project illustrates how art, astrobiology and social outreach can be combined to address real-world issues on Earth.
