Environmental Geotechnics is the study of the
engineering properties of soil, rock, and fluids as they pertain to the
movement, containment, and fate of contaminants in the environment. Students
in this program typically take a core group of courses in geotechnical
engineering supplemented by additional course work in contaminant hydrology
and environmental engineering. Northwestern has active research programs in
many aspects of environmental geotechnics. The following web pages offer more
information about Northwestern University, the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering, and the Environmental Geotechnics program. |
