Hi Folks, I'm not a geological engineer, but should be this page merged with Geological engineering? — Indon (reply) — 15:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

engineering geology and geological engineering are two separate fields. the former concentrates more on geology and initial tests into soil, slope stability, etc. The latter more of an engineering scope, and design of the development in the area being cored, etc.

A merge discussion already exists on the Geotechnical Engineering discussion. Lets not make these merge discussion messy by having more than one at a time.

Merge Geoengineering into Engineering geology

It has been suggested by user User:Kku that Geoengineering be merged into this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aszilagyi (talk • contribs) 15:40, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

I think that geoengineering is an ambiguous term. The page Geoengineering should be a disambiguation page pointing to Climate engineering on one hand and Geotechnical engineering and/or Engineering geology on the other. I am not sure whether the current contents of the Geoengineering article contains anything that should be merged into Engineering geology. Please help resolve this.

I agree that it's questionable to merge any of this non-referenced content. Having just disambiguated nearly one-hundred pages by mostly piping links as [[climate engineering|geoengineering]], i.e., geoengineering, I find that climate engineering is the de facto primary topic for "geoengineering" on Wikipedia, if not in common usage by the average person in the real world. It appears that here, in the less common usage, "geoengineering" may be an interdisciplinary field which combines geotechnical engineering (engineering) and engineering geology (science). Thus, it may not be appropriate to copy the content to either this article or the geo(technical)engineering article. I'm going to move it to the talk page, until someone can clear up the confusion as to exactly what "geoengineering" means, when it doesn't refer to dealing with the climate.

Aha. Hmm, see Geoprofessions § Geological engineering. So why has Geological engineering redirected to Geotechnical engineering since 2009? I see. Here is the 16:54, 28 August 2009 version of Geological and geophysical engineering, just before that was redirected to Geotechnical engineering. Wbm1058 (talk) 18:33, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
