In the year 2016, I was at the Cape town, South Africa to attend the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) Council Meeting.

I have over the years been involved in Environmental, Geotechnical, Engineering Geological
and Hydrogeological investigations. I have showcased the application of geosciences for
engineers combined with soil and rock mechanics in preconstruction investigations for
buildings, bridges, dams, roads, highways and tunnels.

Professor Gabriel Oladapo Adeyemi, a professor of environmental and Engineering Geology is a seasoned researcher and has contributed immensely to the Engineering Geology, Environmental Geology and Hydrogeology. He has published a lot of papers in both local and international journals and books. Below are some of his works.
