Maybe astrophysics not geophysics, or a combination of both.

It would need to start with some astrophysical engineering. But even if you could somehow move these objects; Billions of tons across 100s of millions of miles, it would still take Billions of years for the planet to reform itself.
It would be for more pactical to improve our way of living by reengineering how we live on this planet.
