CENTURY EVOLUTION OF ENGINEERING GEO-SCIENCES AND FURTHER PROSPECT

As a New Spring Wish of this Journal of Engineering Geology, I present a global review of the advances in engineering geosciences over the last century in this paper. I look back the origin and evolution of engineering geosciences, discuss their core values and changes of the theoretical bases, and point out the thoughts and prospects for the future. At present, science and technology have been progressed greatly. More and more people have pay attentions to the harmonic relationship between our human beings and the mother Earth. New great breakthroughs in science and technology have been emerging. I hope all the friends and colleagues in China's engineering geology communities think and prepare for the possible impacts of the prospective breakthroughs and the further advancement and future of the geo-engineering professions. For brighter future, we all together make new contributions in the coming year of Snake and sebsquent years.
