The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid urbanization,
new infrastructure development and increasing demand for the
Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals). This,
together with the current climate change and increasing impact of
natural hazards, imply that the engineering geology profession is
called upon to respond to new challenges. It is recognized that
these challenges are particularly relevant in the developing and
newly industrialized regions. The idea beyond this volume is to
highlight the role of engineering geology and geological
engineering in fostering sustainable use of the Earth's resources,
smart urbanization and infrastructure protection from geohazards.
We selected 19 contributions from across the globe (16 countries,
five continents), which cover a wide spectrum of applied
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, from geology to
engineering. By illustrating a series of practical case studies,
the volume offers a rather unique opportunity to share the
experiences of engineering geologists and geological engineers who
tackle complex problems working in different environmental and
social settings. The specific topics addressed by the authors of
chapters included in the volume are the following: pre-design site
investigations; physical and mechanical properties of engineering
soils; novel, affordable sensing technologies for long-term
geotechnical monitoring of engineering structures; slope stability
assessments and monitoring in active open-cast mines; control of
environmental impacts and hazards posed by abandoned coal mines;
assessment of and protection from geohazards (landslides, ground
fracturing, coastal erosion); applications of geophysical surveying
to investigate active faults and ground instability; numerical
modeling of seabed deformations related to active faulting; deep
geological repositories and waste disposal; aquifer assessment
based on the integrated hydrogeological and geophysical
investigation; use of remote sensing and GIS tools for the
detection of environmental hazards and mapping of surface geology.
This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast
International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil
Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.
