Asian Journal of Engineering Geology

The Asian Journal of Engineering Geology (AJEG)

The Asian Journal of Engineering Geology (AJEG), published by the Nepal Society of Engineering Geology (NSEG), is envisioned as a specialized platform dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of engineering geology within the unique geological context of Asia, with a particular emphasis on contributions from and relevant to Himalaya as well as other parts of world.

In recent years, research on engineering geology and related topics has been significantly advancing, but there are only a few specialized platforms for research publications. There is greater need of knowledge transfer and research result dissemination among the engineering geological researchers through specialized publications. This situation is especially the case among engineering geologists in Asia working in the fields of engineering geology and related topics. To overcome this problem, the NSEG is initiating a new scientific journal entitled “Asian Journal of Engineering Geology (AJEG)". NSEG believes that geoscientists, environmentalists, and engineers involved in landslide and environmental research will have access to a new common platform for the publication of their research work. NSEG is confident that, with this journal, stakeholders working in the Himalayan landslide and environmental and surrounding area will also get up-to-date information on engineering geology and related research work in the region and other parts of the world.

AJEG, under the auspices of the NSEG, places a primary focus on research and developments in engineering geology that are specific to Asia and the broader to other parts of the world. The journal will serve as a key resource for disseminating knowledge on geological challenges and engineering solutions that are pertinent to diverse terrain and seismic activity in the region.

The journal encourages the submission of research articles and case studies that delve into the engineering geology challenges. Contributions may explore topics such as slope stability, earthquake hazards, landslides, and the geological aspects of infrastructure development in the region.

AJEG seeks to foster collaboration among researchers, engineers, and geologists within Asia and the broader to other parts of the world. The journal will actively engage with regional experts to contribute their insights, experiences, and research findings, promoting a collective approach to addressing engineering geology challenges. Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of engineering geology, AJEG welcomes submissions that integrate geological, geotechnical, and environmental perspectives. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the geological factors influencing engineering projects and environmental sustainability.

The journal will feature updates and reports on initiatives, conferences, and activities organized by the Nepal Society of Engineering Geology. This ensures that the journal is not only a repository of research but also a hub for the exchange of ideas and information within the engineering geology community in Nepal.
