What are the main research aspects of geoengineering?

1, the concept: geoengineering, also known as engineering geology, is the study of human engineering activities and the interaction of the geological environment, in order to recognize the evaluation, transformation and protection of the geological environment it is a branch of geology, specializing in the study of geological problems related to engineering geology.

2, the object of study: is the engineering geological conditions and engineering geological problems. Engineering geological conditions is the sum of the various elements of the engineering geological environment. Including: (1) geotechnical types and their engineering geological properties (2) topographic and geomorphological conditions (3) geological structure and geostress (4) hydrogeological conditions (5) physical geological phenomena (6) natural building materials .

3. Applicable industries: including geological survey, census exploration and evaluation of oil and gas and solid mineral resources, large-scale industrial and mining enterprises and water conservancy and hydropower construction, highway and railway construction, engineering geology, hydrogeology, geological environment and geological disaster investigation, survey and monitoring.

4. Coverage: geological survey techniques and methods and mineral resources exploration and evaluation, regional mineral bases and mineral prospect prediction and evaluation, exploration, development and evaluation of mining areas and deposits, geological engineering field construction, feasibility study and decision-making of exploration and evaluation projects, new technologies and methods of geological exploration, hydrogeology, engineering geology, environmental geology, prediction, evaluation of geological disasters monitoring and protection, computer applications in the study of geological structure, geological environment, geological processes and geological hazards, quality testing and design, development and application of new methods and technologies in the implementation of geological engineering, and engineering management in the field of geological resources and geological engineering.
