Association of Engineering Geologists

The Association of Engineering Geologists is the principal of American association of professionals within the fields of engineering related to geology, soils engineering, hydrological engineering, and environmental earth science. This Association is mainly based on the application of the geological sciences as well as engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors are concerning the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works that is recognized and accounted for engineering geologists. It provides geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design related to human development and various types of structures. The association includes civil engineers, ecologists, petroleum engineers and others in fields regarding engineering geology and its effects on the environment. The Association has been serving all members of both the environmental and engineering geology for a number of years, and therefore the name modification serves to produce formal recognition of this support. The benefits of Association of Engineering Geologists (AEG) membership are many, but the membership in AEG can enhance the technical and business knowledge in a simple way and also can provide career opportunities, and introduces to thousands of other professionals.
