Engineering Geology

Engineering geology is an interdisciplinary journal covering earth science and engineering, especially geology and geotechnical engineering. This journal focuses on geologic or engineering research that is interesting to engineering geologists.

It is an international interdisciplinary journal covering earth science and engineering, especially geology and geotechnical engineering. The journal focuses on geologic or engineering studies of interest to engineering geologists regardless of whether their initial training is geology or civil engineering / mining engineering. Research published in the journal should demonstrate relevance to engineering, environmental problems and safety

Examples of interesting topics include Applied Geomorphology and Structural Geology, Applied Geophysics and Geochemistry, Environmental Geology and Hydrological Geology, Land Use Planning, Natural Disasters, Remote Sensing Techniques, Soil and Rock Mechanics, and But not limited to, application geotechnics.

Types of papers being studied are original research papers, case history and comprehensive review. In particular, the case study emphasizes why the article is interested in international readers of the journal and / or what new or new research or theoretical approaches are being presented You should.

This journal is for academic scientists, industry and applied researchers, policy makers and decision makers.

Engineering geology is an application of geology in engineering research to ensure that geological factors in engineering location, design, construction, operation and maintenance are recognized and explained. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical advice, analysis and design on human development and various types of structures. The field of engineering geologists is a field that mainly studies the field of interaction between the earth and the structure, or how the earth or earth process affects artificial structures and human activities.

Geological research has existed for centuries, but at least in its modern form, science and practice of engineering geology is recognized as a field from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century became. The first book "Engineering Geology" was published by William Penning in 1880. In the early 20th century, Charles Barkey was a well-trained geologist in the United States and was considered the first American engineering geologist working on several water supply projects in New York City. I am working on Hoover Dam and many other engineering projects. The first American engineering geology textbook was written by Ries and Watson in 1914. In 1921, Reginald W. Brock, the first dean of the Department of Applied Sciences at the University of British Columbia, started the first undergraduate course and graduate degree program of geoengineering, the first graduate student with engineering foundation He pointed out that he became a geologist.
