Transportation geotechnics associated with constructing and maintaining properly functioning transportation infrastructure is a very resource intensive activity.

Energy geotechnics involves the use of geotechnical principles to understand and engineer the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in collecting, exchanging, storing, and protec
Background One of the most important consequences of climate change could be its effects on agriculture.
The internal combustion engine (ICE) does not efficiently convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. A majority of this energy is dissipated as heat in the exhaust and coolant.
Studies of waste-to-energy systems have applied a varying range of indicators to assess their sustainability.
Effective implementation of rules on reduced emission from avoided deforestation and forest degradation (REDD.
