Here, the colorful means the journal's editorial board includes geotechnical representatives from all the countries in the world, especially, from ISSMGE's national member societies. Because of the low cost of website maintenance, this idea is not an impossible idea. I am now working towards it. I had this idea in my mind several years ago, around 2000 and I requested ISSN to check whether GeoZine can be a unique name to have such journal. They approved ISSN number and it proves that the GeoZine is a unique name and it certainly represents our Geotechanical Profession.<br /><br />Though the idea of the journal was to attract more international members, I am still unable to invite international members. I will attribute this to my own unstable job positions. In last 6 years, I moved to 4 different work places and it disturbed my search for most deserved editorial members. Now, I am in more stable job position, and I want dedicate my free time to enhance the quality of GeoZine towards achieving its preset goals, internationalizing its editorial board. Though the early issues had editorial board of my own closed circle of friends, but I would like invite fellow geotechnical engineers from all over the world and join the editorial board to enhance the quality of GeoZine, an Internet Journal of Geotechnical Engineering (IJGE).<br /><br />Please join the GeoZine editorial board and become part of the fast growing truly an international journal.<br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing your participation.<br /><br />Dr. G. Pokharel<br />Editor-in-Chief<br />GeoZine, an IJGE.<br />Please, send all your requests to "editors (at Mark:@) IJGE.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19789365-114075542659912720?l=geoeng.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GeoEng Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02143456422681008590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19789365.post-1134363188308546902005-12-11T20:36:00.000-08:002005-12-11T21:00:17.093-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1219/1966/1600/GeoEng120x160GP.0.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1219/1966/320/GeoEng120x160GP.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This is my very first step towards initiating my own blog site. I wish to begin in this topic, because I love this profession: GeoTech and GeoEng. Let me see how far can I contribute to my profession through this blog site. Today I do not have any special topic. I would like discuss on a topic that ISSMGE, ISRM and IAEG have initiated a similar talk on finding a common ground where they can merge and form a integrated society, so that we don't have to pay three different subscription for almost one profession with a very little gray zone. The topic is as follows:<br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#660000;"><strong>GeoTech</strong></span> vs <span style="font-family:arial;color:#000099;"><strong>GeoEng</strong></span>: Which word would best describe our profession?<br /><br />Today, I will just throw this topic and I will be adding my comments in coming days.<br /><br />Welcome to my blog world.<br /><br />GyaNeP<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19789365-113436318830854690?l=geoeng.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GeoEng Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02143456422681008590noreply@blogger.com0
