Engineering Geology is a specialized field of geological science that applies the principles of geology to the problems of engineering design, construction, and maintenance. This includes identifying and evaluating geological hazards such as landslides, earthquakes, and natural erosion, assessing the geological conditions and characteristics of a site for infrastructure projects like roads, bridges and buildings, and providing guidance for choosing appropriate construction methods and materials. Engineering geologists work closely with civil engineers and other professionals to ensure the safety, durability, and sustainability of construction projects.
