Futurologist says: build glass domes. On Earth, it is very much in the realm of practicability and costs so little that it might surprise you. On Mars, the biggest costs are transport across outer space and industry bootstrapping.

Apply a huge current to provide a magnetic field to protect the atmosphere so that is may come back over time. We did the rough calculation and came up with something like 1 million Amp-Turns to get a decent planetary field but that seemed low to me and we never rechecked our work.
