geological engineering

Geological engineering is a field that applies geological science to design and develop infrastructure and solve problems related to the Earth's subsurface. It involves studying rock and soil properties to ensure safe construction of buildings, tunnels, dams, and other structures. Geological engineers assess geological hazards like landslides or earthquakes and recommend solutions to mitigate risks. They also explore natural resources and manage environmental challenges. Combining geology, engineering principles, and environmental science, geological engineering helps create safer, more sustainable developments by understanding how the Earth's materials behave beneath our feet.
