Engineering Geology
Engineering Geology is the application of geology to human endeavor and projects. It is that field of applied geology which relates to investigation and analysis of the geologic basis for safe and appropriate design, construction, and operation of engineering works. It includes providing a geologic rationale for locating structures, land use planning, conservative use of ground water, and waste disposal. Engineering Geology activities are therefore paramount in public health, safety and welfare, and in safeguarding the geologic aspects of the environment.
Engineering Geology Foundation
The Engineering Geology Foundation is a federally tax-exempt, non-profit, public-benefit corporation incorporated in the State of California in September 1992 by three past presidents of the Association of Engineering Geologists which served as founding sponsor of the Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to advancing research, education, public awareness and technology transfer in the field of Engineering Geology and related fields of Environmental Geology, and Hydrogeology through publications, speakers, programs, research grants, scholarships, and maintenance of archival data. The programs of the Foundation are supported by private and corporate donations and by bequests.
Foundation Programs
The foundation is organized into a series of programs, each with a companion fund for support. These programs and funds are as follows:
JOHNSTON FUND: Supports the administrative and intersociety coordination programs to coordinate technology transfer between various technical organizations, and coordinate scheduling of transfer meetings.
MARLIAVE FUND: Originally established by the Association of Engineering Geologists, this fund supports graduate and undergraduate scholarships, and educational workshops in Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering.
LEGGET FUND: Supports the Foundation publication program which includes publication of benchmark papers, bibliographies, catalogues of services and instrumentation, and research reviews in Engineering Geology.
JAHNS FUND: Supports the development of speakers programs and provides financial support to technical speakers, including the Jahns Lecturer selected alternately by the Association Of Engineering Geologists and the Engineering Geology Division of the Geology Society of America.
GARDNER FUND: Supports research in Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering through grants to individuals and organizations.
ECKEL FUND: Supports establishment, cataloguing and maintenance of the Engineering Geology archives.
TILFORD FUND: Supports the Norman R. Tilford Field Studies Scholarships, which are awards made to graduate and undergraduate students in support of field studies. The awards are made to qualified student members of the AEG based upon demonstrated scholarship, ability, participation, and potential for contributions to the profession.
