In SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), “post-detection” refers to the events that take place after the successful detection of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Post-detection research prepares for the societal, legal, ethical, ecological, and scientific challenges that may arise, developing emergent strategies and imaginative frameworks to meet the unknown.
As SETI and technosignature detection rapidly advance in the 2020s, post-detection research is vital to engage the cultural, ethical, and philosophical questions of potential extraterrestrial discovery in a time of societal conflict and ecological uncertainty.
Community Wiki
This wiki is a community resource for exploring, learning about, and sharing post-detection research. We welcome contributions including reading materials, creative examples of SETI post-detection, research groups, and resources for all levels of interest.
The Shared Bibliography connects research across disciplines—governance, ethics, technology, futures studies, disaster studies, Indigenous research, creative practice, and art-science to celebrate longstanding research and open up to plural approaches to post-detection. Either add simple references in the individual bibliography pages, or add references with BibTeX by following the contribution guide.
Whilst there is an aim to grow a rich and full SETI Post-Detection section for Oman-Reagan et al's SETI Primer, this collaborative resource is a living archive, and intended to widen access, encouraging a varied forum that supports all levels of post-detection research, and shares relevant research material and groups with research networks in the Global South, as well as the UK. The wiki is not intended as a fixed or definitive resource. It is open, growing, and accumulative; always in process, reflecting the collaborative spirit of a wiki itself.
