International Societies

AGS membership entitles you to membership of one of our affiliated international societies, the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), The International Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) and The International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM).

International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE)

issmge.org
The ISSMGE is the pre-eminent professional body representing the interests and activities of Engineers, Academics and Contractors all over the world that actively participate in geotechnical engineering. The aim of the International Society is the promotion of international co-operation amongst engineers and scientists for the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in the field of geotechnics, and its engineering and environmental applications.

Benefits of membership include:

International Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG)

iaeg.info
Engineering Geology is the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of the engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works and activities of man as well as to the prediction and of the development of measures for prevention or remediation of geological hazards.

The aims of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment are:

International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (ISRM)

isrm.net
The field of rock mechanics and rock engineering includes all studies of the physical, mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, chemical and dynamic behaviour of rocks and rock masses, and engineering works in rock masses, using appropriate knowledge of geology.

The objectives and purposes of the Society are:

Federation of International Geo-Engineering Societies (FedIGS)

geoengineeringfederation.org
The Federation of International Geo-Engineering Societies (FedIGS) is a collaborative forum within which learned societies or associations involved in engineering with, on, or in geo-materials can meet and interact. The purpose of the Federation is to facilitate interaction among the member societies, explore opportunities to promote their common interests and provide a unified response to common issues through effective collective actions that are more effective than individual responses of the members.

The members of the federation are:
