	Engineering geologic studies may be performed during the planning, environmental impact analysis, civil or structural engineering design, value engineering and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and forensic phases of projects. Works completed by engineering geologists include; [[geologic hazards]], [[geotechnical]], material properties, [[landslide]] and slope stability, [[erosion]], [[flooding]], [[dewatering]], and [[seismic]] investigations, etc. Engineering geologic studies are performed by a [[geologist]] or engineering geologist that is educated, trained and has obtained experience related to the recognition and interpretation of natural processes, the understanding of how these processes impact man-made structures (and visa-versa), and knowledge of methods by which to mitigate for hazards resulting for adverse natural or man-made conditions. The principal objective of the engineering geologist is the protection of life and property against damage caused by geologic conditions.

	An engineering geologist or [[geophysicist]] may be called upon to evaluate the [[excavatability]] (i.e. [[rippability]]) of earth (rock) materials to assess the need for pre-[[blasting]] during earthwork construction, as well as associated impacts due to [[oscillation\|vibration]] during blasting on projects.

			==Soil and Rock Mechanics==
			{{main\|Soil mechanics\|Rock mechanics}}
			[[Soil mechanics]] is a discipline that applies principles of engineering mechanics, e.g. kinematics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanics of material, to predict the mechanical behavior of soils. [[Rock mechanics]] is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behaviour of rock and rock masses; it is that branch of mechanics concerned with the response of rock and rock masses to the force fields of their physical environment. Together, soil and rock mechanics are the basis for solving many engineering geologic problems.

			==The Practice==
			One of the most important roles of the [[engineering geologist]] is the interpretation of [[landforms]] and earth processes to identify potential geologic and related man-made hazards that may impact civil structures and human development. Nearly all engineering geologists are initially trained and educated in [[geology]], primarily during their undergraduate education. This background in geology provides the engineering geologist with an understanding of how the earth works, which is crucial in mitigating for earth related hazards. Most engineering geologists also have graduate degrees where they have gained specialized education and training in [[soil mechanics]], [[rock mechanics]], [[geotechnics]], [[groundwater]], [[hydrology]], and civil design. These two aspects of the engineering geologists' education provides them with a unique ability to understand and mitigate for hazards associated with earth-structure interactions.
