Nepal Society of Engineering Geology (NSEG)

Nepal Society of Engineering Geology (NSEG), founded in 2018, is a non-profitable society working in a congregational manner in Nepal as well as international level in the field of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering. It also enhances the International Association of Engineering Geology and Environment (IAEG) membership to achieve some common goals in the development of engineering geological science.  The priorities aim of the society is to upgrade engineering geology through research, survey, investigation, exchanging views and perspectives with national or international experts and by promoting other scientific activities with some of the new techniques.  NSEG is a professional and scientific organization comprising members from the fields of Engineering Geology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geography, Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Disaster Risk Management. The NSEG will bridge between geologists, engineers and social scientists in Nepal and will provide a vibrant platform for discussing and debating geotechnical and engineering geological problems and will support Nepal for the sustainable development planning. The society will regularly organize national/international symposium/seminars/workshops in various parts of the country and will attract experts, students, professionals from related fields of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering from Nepal and abroad. NSEG will also start the training program on Engineering Geology for young professionals and will encourage them to work in international standard.

The NSEG serves the Nepali National Group of the International Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) and also support activities of IAEG in Nepal. 

The major aims of the society are as follow:

·         To promote the professional works of Engineering Geology and allied sciences and their application.

·         To promote university courses, training programs and new technologies in engineering geology in Nepal and aboard.

·         To disseminate knowledge and provide a forum for discussion of all disciplines by holding periodical meetings, seminars and symposia.

·         To support various civil engineering projects of Nepal for engineering geological study through research and investigation.

·         To publish a journal and newsletter in the topic of Himalayan Engineering Geology.

·         To distribute Nepalese National Group of IAEG membership in Nepal.

·         To support IAEG for its activities in Nepal. 

·         To support the Government of Nepal for promotion of professional engineering geological study in Nepal.
