Recent Research on Geotechnical Engineering, Remote Sensing, Geophysics and Earthquake Seismology

Prof. Dr. Zeynal Abiddin Erguler is a full professor at the geological engineering department at Kutahya Dumlupinar University (Turkey). Dr. Erguler holds a B.Sc. (1998), an M.Sc. (2001) and a PhD degree (2007) in Geological Engineering from Hacettepe University (Turkey). His research interests mainly focus on rock mechanics, engineering geology, environmental geology and soil mechanics. His current investigation is to understand and model the thermo- hydro-mechanical behaviour of shale rocks in the area of shale gas production. In addition to performing many types of research and industry-funded projects, he has also taught and supervised undergraduate and graduate students. In 2017, Dr. Erguler joined the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (AJGS) as an Editor responsible for evaluating submissions in the fields of rock mechanics, engineering geology, environmental geology and soil mechanics.
