Aims & Scope

Hydrogeology & Engineering Geology sets up three fixed columns, including：hydrogeology and water resources, engineering geology and disasters, and ecological and environmental geology.

New columns such as geothermal geology, hot spots, and discussion and contention are also irregularly set up.

Soliciting contributions to special issues in the hot academic research are frequently conducted.

This journal mainly publishes the frontier research results in the fields of hydrogeology, engineering geology, environmental geology, geothermal geology, etc.

Priority is given to the publication of the following results: research results funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Major Basic Research Projects, and provincial and ministerial science and technology innovation funds; exploratory results in subject edge and Interdisciplinary; and the experiences and suggestions obtained in long-term field work.

Hydrogeology & Engineering Geology is aimed at readers and authors from multiple disciplines and interdisciplinary subjects such as hydrogeology, engineering geology, geological hazards, environmental geology, agricultural geology, and geothermal geology.
