GeoSystems Engineering

Facilities

The Geosystems program has a long legacy on pioneering testing, sensing and modeling capabilities and for advancing the State of the Art in Experimentation and Modeling.Our State of the Art Facilities are supported by full-time Research and Development Engineers who are available to support our Federal, State and Industry-funded research and projects.

We are passionate about collaborating with the Industry and Infrastructure Stakeholders to support and advance to the State-of-the-Practice.

In this page, as well as this leaflet, you can review our facilities and learn more about the laboratory testing, field testing, sensing and numerical modeling capabilities of the Geosystems program. Please connect with us to explore opportunities for collaboration.
