Thematic collections are curated sets of papers that present a timely snapshot of research in a topic of high current interest and importance. Edited by experts in the field, invited contributions undergo peer review to the normal Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology standards and are made available online upon acceptance. The papers are collated on a dedicated collection webpage on an ongoing basis which ensures that this significant research is visible to the community at the earliest opportunity.
If you are interested in proposing a thematic collection in Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology then please contact qjegh@geolsoc.org.uk. Please provide a brief proposal for the Editorial Board to consider that outlines the aims and scope of the thematic collection, the guest editors and the envisaged contributions.
Future thematic collections:
Sustainability in Engineering Geology & Hydrogeology: Submit your abstract for consideration to this future thematic collection by 31st March 2021, with full submissions no later than 27th August 2021.
Remote sensing for site investigations on Earth and other planets: Submit to this future thematic collection by 30th September 2021, as part of the Society’s activities for the 2021 Year of Space.
Hydrogeology of Sandstone: Submit to this thematic collection until 20th December 2021. This collection of papers draws from the papers to be presented at the conference of the same name convened by the Society’s Hydrogeology Group and supported by the Contaminated Land Group, but is also open to contributions not related to the conference.
Climate change and resilience in engineering geology and hydrogeology: Submit to this future thematic collection until 31st May 2022 (deadline extended).
Read the current thematic collections:
Role of water in destabilizing slopes: papers will appear here within days of acceptance.
Ground models in engineering geology and hydrogeology: This collection showcases papers developing the use of ground models, or conceptual site models in an engineering geology, hydrogeology or contaminated land context.
Geology of London and its implications for ground engineering: This thematic collection of papers sets out to describe the structural elements that can be found in London and to illustrate them with reference to the Cretaceous, Palaeogene and Quaternary.
Read the completed thematic collections:
Mapping the Geology and Topography of the European Seas (EMODnet): This collection of papers communicates the work of the Geology Lot of the European Marine Observation Data Network.
Thermal Hydrogeology: A collection of thermal hydrogeology papers recently published in Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology (QJEGH).
Measurement and monitoring: This thematic collection of papers explores the range of methods and instrumentation now available to engineering geologists and hydrogeologists.
Keeping lessons alive in engineering geology: The Malpasset Dam is a classic case-study in Engineering Geology, and was the subject of the honorary lecture by Pierre Duffaut at the Engineering Group of the Geological Society's Annual Conference. This thematic collection examines how we might keep such lessons alive, and how this preservation may lower risk in the future.
Ground-related risk to transportation infrastructure: This thematic collection is associated with a two-day conference held on Ground-related Risk to Transportation Infrastructure.
COST Action TU1202 - Impact of climate change on engineered slopes for infrastructure: The papers presented in this collection are drawn from researchers working with COST Action TU1202. COST Action TU1202 is a coalition of researchers that addresses the challenges of engineered slope infrastructure resilience in a context of climate change in Europe.
Organic contaminants in groundwater: This collection of papers includes the behaviour, fate, transport and risks associated with organic compounds in groundwater.
QJEGH 50th anniversary review papers: As the journal celebrated its 50th anniversary, both 50 years and 50 volumes, these papers look at the contribution of QJEGH to each of several important disciplines within the general ambit of the journal.

The Glossop Lecture Collection: The Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology (QJEGH) is delighted to publish papers that are derived from, and summarize, invited Glossop Lectures. This collection provides all the QJEGH published Glossop Lectures in one place.
