Geotechnical Engineering for Climate Adaptation and Resilient Environments
The Geo-CARE Laboratory at Southern Illinois University Carbondale advances geotechnical solutions for resilient infrastructure in a changing climate. Our work develops sustainable 3D printing materials from locally available soils, analyses post-wildfire geohazards, and builds integrated frameworks for extracting critical minerals from geothermal brines in support of clean energy and resource sustainability.
The lab also investigates CO₂ sequestration strategies within geothermal systems to mitigate emissions and improve renewable resource utilization, alongside freeze–thaw durability in cemented soils. We design and deploy advanced biogeotechnical methods, pairing laboratory characterization with computational modeling to strengthen predictive capability and engineering decision-making.
We welcome motivated students, scholars, and postdoctoral researchers to join an interdisciplinary team working at the intersection of climate resilience, innovative materials, and subsurface resource management. If that describes you, read through the site and write to Dr. Nitin Tiwari with your CV.
