This book comprises the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 1st Conference on Georesources, Geomaterials, Geotechnologies and Geoenvironment (4GEO), Porto, Portugal, on November 7–8, 2019. The book interests all researchers, practitioners, and students in engineering geosciences, geotechnics, georesources, materials engineering, and earth and environmental sciences.
Georesources, geomaterials, geotechnologies, and geoenvironment are very topical subjects and therefore deserve a deeper reflection by academia, practitioners, and society. That approach is vital to a correct sustainable resource management and an engineering design with nature within a geoethical framework. Georesources, understood as geological, hydrological and energetic resources are greatly important to society. Minerals, rocks, and water are resources that, over time, have assumed an important role in the technological development of communities. Given the increase in population and theincreasing needs and intensification of their use, it is very important to ensure their sustainable management. Geomaterials are functional geological materials artificially processed for the generality of the activities developed by societies. The functional geomaterials may include rock, clay, granular materials, treated soils, and industrial waste. Geotechnologies are a very important tool for decision-making, supporting the collection, mapping, processing, and analysis of data with geographical information systems and other geo-techniques used in the most diverse fields, including to support the monitoring and prediction of geohazards. The geoenvironment is a transversal field that identifies continuous earth changes and to find solutions to the resulting socioeconomic and environmental changes. Climate change, industrialization, and anthropic activity are, among others, factors of pressure and alteration of the natural environment, so minimizing impacts and emerging hazards and risks.
Main topics include:
1. Geomaterials, Geotechnics, and Georesources
2. Geotechnologies, Engineering Geosciences, and Geohazards
3. Geoenvironment, Water, and Climate Change

Helder I. Chaminé
H. I. Chaminé is a skilled Geologist and Professor of engineering geosciences at the School of Engineering (ISEP) of the Polytechnic of Porto, with over 32 years of experience in multidisciplinary geosciences research, consultancy, and practice. He studied geological engineering and geology (BSc, 1990) at the Universities of Aveiro and Porto (Portugal), respectively. He received his Ph D in geology at the University of Porto in 2000 and spent his postdoctoral research in applied geosciences at the University of Aveiro (2001-2003). In 2011 he received his Habilitation (DSc) in geosciences from Aveiro University.
Before joining the academy, he worked for over a decade on international projects for mining, geotechnics and groundwater industry and/or academia related to geodynamics and regional geology, hard-rock hydrogeology and water resources, engineering geosciences and applied geomorphology, rock engineering and georesources. His research interests span fundamental to applied fields: GIS mapping techniques for applied geology, structural geology and regional geology, engineering geosciences and rock engineering, slope geotechnics, mining geology and hydrogeomechanics, hard-rock hydrogeology, exploration hydrogeology, urban groundwater and hydromineral resources. In addition, he has interests in mining geoheritage, history of cartography, military geosciences and higher-education dissemination, skills, and core values.
He is Head of the Laboratory of Cartography and Applied Geology (LABCARGA|ISEP), the Senior Researcher at Centre Geo Bio Tec|U.Aveiro and Centre IDL|U.Lisbon, also belongs to the executive board of the MSc+BSc Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering programmes (OE+EUR-ACE Label) and the Department of Geotechnical Engineering (ISEP). Furthermore, he belongs to the board of the Technical Committee of Environmental Geotechnics of SPG (2021-…). Moreover, he was a boardmember of APGeom – Portuguese Association of Geomorphologists (2009–2013), SPG – Portuguese Geotechnical Society (2016–2020), APG – Portuguese Association of Geologists (2020-2021) and AIH-GP – Portuguese Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (2019-2022). Furthermore, he was a consultant and or responsible for over 70 projects of applied geology, hydrogeomechanics, slope geotechnics, mining geology, exploration hydrogeology, hard-rock hydrogeology, water resources, urban groundwater, and applied mapping (Mozambique, Portugal, and Spain).
Co-authored over 220 publications in indexed journals, conference proceedings/full papers, book chapters, technical and professional papers. He co-edited over 15 special volumes and is presently involved in editing themed issues for some international journals or ASTI Springer Series (e.g. Springer Nature Applied Sciences, Water MDPI, Arabian Journal of Geosciences – Springer). In addition, he has a wide activity as a reviewer for several international journals. In 2021, Springer Nature Applied Sciences awarded him an outstanding guest editor and editorial board member. Furthermore, he served as invited Expert Evaluator of the Bologna Geoscience programme for DGES (Portugal) and Scientific Projects Evaluation for NCST, 2017-2019 (Kazakhstan) and NRF|RISA, 2019 (South Africa), as well as Coordinator of “Geology on Summer/Ciência Viva” programme at ISEP (2005-2019) for geoscience dissemination. He has also been active in teaching and supervising many Ph D, MSc, and undergraduate students.
