Ideas

* [landhunt] Land evaluation
    establish easily diggable depth (for construction)
    price to dig + machinery control

* [building] Subterranean architecture:
    * difficult extraction techniques
    * "digging caves" (example: terreno we saw in Los Valles)
    * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_shelter
    → 🔗hacking-housing

* [building] Building with soil / rocks:
    traditional walls (layed)
    "Artificial / re-engineered rock":
        brick
        metal-mesh structure stone walls

* [water] Wells

* [water] Artificial Aquifiers with open-pit mining techniques <uros

* [energetics] Geothermal energy:
    example: hot drill in Timanfaya park http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOo-bR0Z4SM (turn speakers off)

* [energetics] Coast engineering for wave energy (Mala lab)

* [agriculture] Soil types, geochemistry and agriculture

* DIY Bore holes (lol)

* Are there hot springs somewhere in Lanzarote?

* Ocean and coast geology + diving + sea caves

* Caves / speleology

* Geology & climbing (cliffs):
    climbers say there's only 3 known climbable walls:
        "The Indian" (near Mala)
        two more
    and some boulders in desert near Costa Teguise

* Any extractable / valuable rock / mineral? ...:
    how about clay at Pressa de Mala (dry water accumulation clay deposits)
    maybe 200m2 40cm deep

* Sea salt & Salt extraction:
    wild (coast of Mala)
    Los Cocoteros (active, 1 guy)
    South / Playa Blanca (non-active, very big)
    North / coast to La Graciosa (abandoned, in ruin)
