description | Engineering geology problems very often concern quaternary Sediments or the underlying surface of bedrock formed
by glacial erosion. To get enough information for building,
road construction, tunnelling etc.. a tremendous amount of
information has been collected during the last 30 years in
Switzerland including detailed geological mapping, boreholes,
laboratory tests, and data on groundwater. Why did not
our knowledge of the Quaternary get more adavantages
from all this activity? Two examples shall demonstrate that
engineering geology has priorities very different from those
of quaternary stratigraphy. It is therefore extremely difficult to
get Support for purely scientific research from the assignor of
a building contract. However, better Cooperation between
engineering geology and quaternary sciences would be helpful
to everybody concerned. |
