This edited volume contains the best papers in the geo-engineering field accepted for presentation at the 1^st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences, Tunisia 2018. In addition, it includes 3 keynotes by international experts on the following topics:

1. A new three-dimensional rock mass strength criterion

2. New tools and techniques of remote sensing for geologic hazard assessment

3. Land subsidence induced by the engineering-environmental effects in Shanghai China

The book is useful for readers who would like to get a broad coverage in geo-engineering. It contains 11 chapters covering the following main areas: (a) Applications in geo-environmental engineering including soil remediation, (b) Characterization of geo-materials using geological, geotechnical and geophysical techniques, (c) Soil improvement applications, (d) Soil behaviour under dynamic loading, (e) Recent studies on expansive soils, (f) Analytical and numerical modelling of various geo-structures, (g) Slope stability, (h) Landslides, (i) Subsidence studies and (j) Recent studies on various other types of geo-hazards.

Identification and assessment of different geo-environmental problems.- Remediation for geo-environmental problems.- Characterization of geomaterials.- The behavior of soils under dynamic loading.- Recent studies on expansive soils.- Improvement of physical and mechanical properties of soils.- Analytical and numerical modeling of geo-structures.- Assessments of mass movement based geohazards.- Characterization and impacts of different geohazards.-

Dr. Karrech has a Multi-Disciplinary B.Sc. in Engineering from Tunisia Polytechnic School (Tunisia, 2001), a M.Sc. in Mechanics of Solids and Structures (2004) and a PhD in Materials and Structures (2008) from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris France). In addition, he received an Accreditation to Supervise Research in Engineering Sciences from the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay (Paris, France, 2013). Assoc/Prof Karrech is currently an Associate Professor and Graduate Research Coordinator at the School of Civil, Environmental, and Mining Engineering of the University of Western Australia. Prior to his appointment at the UWA, Assoc/Prof Karrech was a Senior Research Scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation(CSIRO) until July 2012. He had also held the position of Assistant professor at the Petroleum Institute of Abu Dhabi (2007-2009). He received several research awards especially from the Australian Research Council and The Research Council of Oman. Assoc/Prof Karrech's research interests are in the computational geo-mechanics for resource engineering applications. In particular, he focuses on poromechanics, plasticity, finite transformations, continuum damage mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and multi-physics coupling. He is currently a member of Engineers Australia (MIEAust) and a member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM). In 2017 Assoc/Prof Karrech joined the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Springer) as an Associate Editor responsible for evaluating submissions in the fields of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering with particular focus on computational geo-mechanics for resource engineering applications.

Dr. Kallel holds a B.Eng. in Georesources and Environment (1998) from the University of Sfax (Tunisia), a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. degree in Georesources and Environment (2004) from Hokkaido University (Japan). He joined Venture Busines
