Welcome to the GeoEngineering Program Website
Civil engineering is the harnessing of science to improve the
human condition. Ideally, we work with nature to improve the health
and safety of the growing human population. GeoEngineering focusses
on the body of the earth as the medium for our work. Our interests
range from rational exploitation of mineral resources, providing
materials for construction, providing a firm foundation for our
built infrastructure, using and maintaining the water flowing through
the ground, to mitigation of natural hazards of all kinds. Implicit
in these pursuits is the stewardship of the earth, and the quest
to harvest the most advanced fruits of scientific achievements as
tools for our graduates to work with.
UC Berkeley's GeoEngineering program offers graduate studies in
the following four related areas of emphasis:
Geotechnical and
Geoenvironmental Engineering
Engineering Geology and
Rock Mechanics
Applied Geophysics
Petroleum Engineering
