Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of biological processes and materials for geotechnical engineering and environmental remediation. It covers topics such as microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) for soil improvement, ground stabilization, and heavy metal remediation. The scope also includes the use of vegetation, mycelium, and biopolymers for soil stabilization and erosion control, as well as the potential of biocementation for extraterrestrial construction.
