Geotechnical and Earth Resources Engineering

Beside the traditional topics of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, earth structures, underground excavations, land subsidence, and landslide mitigations, land reclamation, ground improvement, geosynthetics engineering, analytical and numerical analyses, geotechnical engineers and researchers are increasingly involved in many new and dynamic areas of geoengineering and geoexploration. They are also challenged to solve geoenvironmental problems, the reduction of construction wastes, clean-up of contaminated sites, geological-related hazards as well as onshore and offshore exploration and production of new mineral and energy resources.
