A Second Review of the International Status of Engineering Geology - Encompassing Hydrogeology, Environmental Geology and the Applied Geosciences
Abstract
Engineering geology, in 1996, worldwide, is experiencing considerable turmoil due to the uncertain nature of national economies and the general situation of inadequate funds to meet the demands of failing of the national infrastructure that serve citizens. Aside from the previously war-damaged cities of Western Europe, new public service systems of transportation and utilities elsewhere often lagged well behind growth. Environmental restoration demands were still being made by governments, but the pressure to complete such work was being relaxed on account of economics.
