GeoEngineering Centre at Queen's

ABOUT US

Introduction

The GeoEngineering Centre, founded in 2001, is a collaborative venture between faculty members at Queen's University and the Royal Military College in Kingston.

Drawn from four different engineering departments at the two Universities, the Centre's members are dedicated to innovation and advancement of knowledge in geotechnical, geohydrological, geochemical, geomechanical and geosynthetics engineering.

Through the development of collaborative research projects, with involvement of government and industrial partners, the Centre provides exciting opportunities for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in specialized or multi-disciplinary fields of interest.
