XV World Congress of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG 2026)

XV World Congress of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG 2026) is a conference that examines the role of engineering geology in sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation, geohazards management, and digital transformation across diverse natural and built environments.

Key Topics

• Innovation in ground modelling, 3D geo-mapping, and subsurface investigation technologies
• Geohazards identification, monitoring, modelling, and mitigation including landslides, earthquakes, and flooding
• Energy transition applications including CO2 sequestration, geothermal, wind, hydropower, and nuclear energy
• Geo-environmental engineering for water cycles, waste management, and contaminant transport
• Digital transition in engineering geology including AI, big data, and virtual reality
• Engineering geology in coastal, soft soil, and low-lying environments with focus on subsidence and erosion
• Use of subsurface resources including mining, aggregates, and resilient infrastructure development
• Preservation of geological, archaeological, and industrial heritage sites
• Education, innovation, and professional development in engineering geology
