The Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) is an international, non-profit scientific and technical society, whose 3,000 members include geologists specializing in engineering geology, environmental geology, and ground-water geology as well as other professionals in affiliated fields, such as civil and mining engineering, land-use planning, public policy and education.

AEG was developed to meet the professional needs of geologists who are applying their scientific training and experience to the broad field of civil and environmental engineering. Engineering geologists work in close coordination with construction, foundation and highway engineers, hydraulic engineers and hydrologists and with environmental professionals in environmental remediation, city planning and natural hazard risk reduction.

The mission of AEG is to provide leadership in the development and application of geologic principles and knowledge to serve engineering, environmental and public needs. AEG members represent geological engineers and geologists in practice, academic and governmental positions. More information can be found on the AEG Headquarters website www.aegweb.org.

AEG’s sister organization, AEG Foundation, was Established by three Past Presidents of AEG in 1992, the AEG Foundation plays a key role in the success of our profession. The AEG Foundation's vision is to create a culture of giving back to the profession, and to instill complete confidence in donors that their money is well-invested and well-spent. Our core programs emphasize scholarship, research, and professional development to improve professional practice. We support outreach to increase the public's appreciation of environmental and engineering geology in geo-hazard evaluation and risk reduction.

The AEG Foundation provides over 25 grants and scholarships each year to students and professionals, ranging from $500 to $5,000 each. We encourage and seek out applicants who bring diverse racial backgrounds, a variety of life experiences, and focus on a range of topics within environmental and engineering geology, from colleges and universities across the United States.
