Comments from lecturer

There is no single environmental problem which can be solved by a single discipline. Geo-environment Engineering(GEE) can play a vital role for various environmental problems. Take close observation on various environments and find what we can do for their conservation and improvement.

Supplement

Date of site visit will be fixed according to student's availability of time of an entire afternoon. It may be scheduled during the examination period.
