Environmental Geotechnics and soils

Soil degradation arises from multiple environmental pressures including intensive tillage, heavy machinery use, deforestation, and the application of chemical products. This degradation disrupts soil water regimes, diminishes ecosystem functions, and negatively impacts human and animal health, as well as biodiversity.

sustainable development goals

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Developing resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation

Guarantee a healthy life and promote well-being for everyone at all ages.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation, and halt the loss of biological diversity.
