Tennessee; Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists; Virginia Board for Professional Soil Scientists and Wetland Professionals; Wisconsin Soil Science Section, Joint Board of Professional Geologists, Hydrologists and Soil Scientists
A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...
The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is a state agency of Texas, headquartered in Temple. [1] The agency enforces the state's soil and water conservation laws and coordinates conservation and nonpoint source pollution abatement programs. The Texas State Legislature created the agency in 1939. [2]
The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils. Based on this history it has also been called the "Dutch ...

The fourth-largest environmental agency in the United States (and the third-largest state environmental agency, behind the US Environmental Protection Agency, the California EPA, and the New York DEC), it employs about 2,780 employees, has 16 regional offices, and has a $420 million operating budget for the 2016 fiscal year.
Wages adjusted for inflation in the US from 1964 to 2004 Unemployment compared to wages. Wage data (e.g. median wages) for different occupations in the US can be found from the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, [5] broken down into subgroups (e.g. marketing managers, financial managers, etc.) [6] by state, [7] metropolitan areas, [8] and gender.
The standard penetration test (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS ...
