• PrefaceIt is our privilege to present the proceedings of the two-day online Conference entitled “International Conference on Advanced Earth Sciences and Foundation Engineering (ICASF-2022)”.The Conference was held virtually considering COVID–19 pandemics, ensuing gathering, and travel restrictions in the nation and worldwide. Yet, despite the issues, the virtual ICASF-2022 took place on 23rd and 24thJune 2022 and attracted a more significant number and diverse mix of attendees than it would have done as per expectations. The Organizers, i.e., ChandigarhUniversity, Mohali, India, which runs the event, seek to promote international collaborations in Research and Innovation. The Conference was delivered through ZOOM Cloud Meeting technology. More than 200 extra individuals signed upto ICASF-2022 over the guests, presenters, and invited attendees because of easier online access. Collectively more than 450 people attended from 15 countries. The Conference had delegates, participants, and attendees from Tanzania, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Russia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and European countries some of whom might not otherwise have come because of the distance and time constraints in traveling. The Conference consists of six sessions, including inaugural and valedictory. Prof. (Dr.) Mikhael Bechelany from CNRS, France, Trinidad graced the plenary session along with Prof. (Dr.) Luminita Andronic, Professor at the Product Design and Environment Faculty, Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania, Prof. (Dr.) Valeria De Matteis, Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Physics “Ennio De Giorgi” of the University of Salento, Lecce (Italy), and Prof. (Dr.) Siraj Muhammed Pandhiani, Professor in the Department of General Studies, Jubail University College, Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, Four Keynote addresses were given by researchers and scientists from NIT, Kurukshetra, GHRCEM, Pune, National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, Punjab, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, Haryana. Overall, 130 paper presentations were delivered by authors in four conference technical sessions. Authors were facilitated with 15 minutes to present their papers, followed by 5 minutes of discussion and query session. The paper presentation and discussion emphasized incorporating Advanced Earth Science and Foundation Engineering, and compatibility withconstruction. The national and international research scenario on Advanced Earth Science and Foundation Engineering seeks to reduce negative impacts on the ecosystem, modern era development, and Future possibilities for sustainability. Thereby role play in Sustainable Development Goals. The primary objectives of today’s development are reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources, minimizing waste, and creating a healthy environment. Consequently, interdisciplinary and integrated innovations have resulted in numerous smart solutions. This event provided a forum for researchers from different scientific and engineering fields to deliberate and collaborate at national and international levels for translating research into intelligent possibilities to make human life better.Chandigarh University, Gharuan, the leading university in research and Innovation in India, sponsored this Conference. This Conference provided an opportunity for in-depth technical discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas on a wide range of possibilities to explore the potential of their applications in industry and society. Moreover, young researchers were exposed to emerging trends and research areas that have significant technical and scientific importance for sustainable development.List of Conference photographs, Sponsoror funding acknowledgements, committees/participants are available in this Pdf.
