It is with a great honor that we welcome you in Al-Ain and to host the Fifth International
Conference on Engineering Geophysics.
Since 2006, Engineering Geophysics has been one of the tools that Al-Ain City Municipality
uses to study the ground truth of all building sites in Al-Ain Region. The Municipality made the geophysical survey a mandatory requirement for issuing the
building permit. To continue with the Municipality’s obligations to serve the nation
with best knowledge and technologies in the field of Engineering/Environmental Geophysics,
it has decided in collaboration with the United Arab Emirates University and the international
specialized association to hold the International Conference on Engineering Geophysics
(ICEG) every two years.
The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) organized, in collaboration with Al Ain
City Municipality, the First, Second and Third International Conferences on Engineering
Geophysics (ICEG) in December 2011,November 2013 and November 2015 respectively.
The success of all conferences was reflected by the increasing number of participants
from over 25 countries and the high quality and number of papers submitted.
