We have added some new links to our page that will hopefully be helpful to you. Three links have been added to the left sidebars: geoforum.com, ISSMGE and USUCGER. On the right sidebar, links to e-newsletters, news releases, and other notes from geoforum.com, ISSMGE, DFI, PDCA, and ADSC have been added. Enjoy!
geoforum.com is a geo-industry resource site. From the site:
geoforum.com was designed for the benefit of practitioners, educators, studenter, researchers and others interested in, or working with different geotechnical and related areas.:
Geo Contacts:
provides is an efficient way to find and exchange information on the Internet. The most important section is the Geo Directory, a steadily growing database, containing a classified listing of individuals, interested in geotechnology. Other sections are the Geo Discussion Forum and a survey of Geo Events..Geo Market Guide:
contains a directory of companies and organisations, which are active in the area of geotechnology. On a start page, each company can present general information about its activities. Up to 8 key words can be used to identify company-specific services and products.
