🌊 Offshore Geotechnics
Offshore geotechnics deals with the investigation of soil properties on seabeds and ocean floors, as well as the development of design and engineering solutions for structures to be built offshore. This discipline combines classical geotechnical engineering principles with marine-specific conditions such as waves, currents, seabed morphology, and soil structure.
