Is the science that deals with the study of the Earth, its history, internal structure, internal factors (such as earthquakes and volcanoes) and external (such as erosion and weathering) that have affected and still affect the surface of the earth.

The most important works of the geologist

- Examination of sites, field tests and assessment of geological terrain for geological engineering purposes.

- Studying the locations of roads, tunnels, bridges, dams, rock slopes and cities, and protecting the coasts geologically and geographically.

- Evaluate the effects of flood, flood, earthquake, volcanic and desertification hazards and find appropriate solutions.

It is concerned with the age of origin only, in contrast to the science of pure geology, which is concerned with the relative age of the earth and whose interests are focused on the surface area and the surface subsurface, ie, the area in which the origin can be affected and the study of engineering geology is important in practice because of the options and precautions of the structural engineer.

In the area of ​​detection and extraction of natural resources, geological engineer can work in the detection of oil, mineral ores and groundwater, using the methods of surface detection and exploration and the conduct of laboratory and site tests, as well as the use of methods of detection under the surface, which depend on the various geophysical devices.

In the engineering fields, the geologist can work in the field of dams and water reservoirs by selecting the appropriate virtual sites, finding suitable solutions to avoid the expected problems at construction, and identifying the areas of weakness and internal gaps and the problems of glides and basic vibrations and induced by the accumulation of huge volume of water in the reservoirs, Creation through a range of special devices.

In the field of tunneling, the geological engineer undertakes the necessary geological investigations to determine the exact path of the tunnel, taking into consideration the various problems during and after the tunnels, as well as the economic costs of drilling and construction

In the field of construction of roads and bridges, the geological engineer works on planning the roads on the geological and geographical maps and aerial photos, and the detection of the rocks passing through the roads and the method of treatment of each stage and identify the materials required for use in the field of paving roads and within the geological investigations carried out by.

In the field of agriculture and irrigation works geological engineer to know the types of soil and its composition and source and characteristics and the discovery of groundwater resources and the establishment of dams and canals
