Focus and Scope

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to advance computational approaches in geo-engineering, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, computational case studies, and methodological innovations within the following thematic areas:

Computational Geomechanics & Numerical Modeling: Advanced numerical methods (Finite Element Method, Discrete Element Method, Finite Difference Method) for soil-structure interaction; rock mechanics and tunneling; slope stability analysis; and deep excavation modeling.

Geo-Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: Application of AI, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms in geotechnical site characterization; predictive modeling of geological hazards (landslides, earthquakes, subsidence); and automated interpretation of geophysical data.

Geospatial Informatics & Remote Sensing: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing (LiDAR, InSAR) for infrastructure monitoring; spatial data infrastructure (SDI); 3D geological modeling; and geostatistical analysis of spatial variability.

Hydrogeology & Geo-environmental Engineering: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling; multiphase flow in porous media; geothermal energy systems engineering; and computational assessment of geo-environmental remediation.

Smart Infrastructure & Geotechnical Data Management: Integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in geotechnical health monitoring; digital twins of subsurface infrastructure; Building Information Modeling (BIM) for geotechnical engineering (GeoBIM); and management of geotechnical big data.
