The Geoenvironmental Congress aims to foster collaboration and information sharing among geoenvironmental professionals to address the challenges posed by a changing climate. Highlighting strategies for managing soil and groundwater scarcity and contamination, managing byproducts and waste in a sustainable way, while promoting sustainable geoenvironmental practices in the face of a rapidly changing climate.

The International Society for Intelligent Construction 2024 Conference (ISIC 2024) will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, from 10 to 12 September 2024. Intelligent construction technologies (ICT) are combinations of modern science and innovative construction technologies. The International Society for Intelligent Construction (ISIC) provides a forum for disseminating knowledge concerning the collection, analysis, and application of ICT for infrastructure. ISICs mission is to promote ICT applications to the life cycle of infrastructure (survey, design, construction, operation, and maintenance/rehabilitation) while adapting to environmental conditions and minimizing risk. ISIC aims to improve construction quality, reduce costs, and promote safety.

Civil Engineering Projects within Ohio River Valley and surrounding areas are significantly impacted by water. Geotechnical Engineers are constantly evaluating water-related problems on their projects based on the published theories of water related to Soil and Rock Mechanics. Research has been undertaken relative to the impact water has on strength, compressibility, permeability, scour potential, slope stability, , etc. Geotechnical Practitioners must apply the knowledge about the presence or absence of water to evaluate slope stability, bearing capacities of shallow foundations, intermediate foundations (mats), and deep foundations (piles, shafts, micropiles, etc.). Water control features such as dams, levees, etc. and waterfront developments require an assessment of water flow, erosive characteristics, etc. to evaluate adequate strength parameters for the retaining features.
