This virtual special issue (VSI) is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Engineering Geology , an international journal. The journal was founded in 1965 with the inaugural issue published in August 1965. More than 3400 papers have been published in Engineering Geology since then. To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of ENGEO, thirty (30) papers were selected and included in this VSI. These papers were selected by the two Chief Editors, Carlos Carranza-Torres and Charng Hsein Juang, with the assistance from the publisher, Kate Hibbert. The selection criteria include citations, the balance of the subjects, and contributions of individuals to Engineering Geology. As expected, there were many excellent papers, many more than what can reasonably be included in a special issue, and as such, many of these were not included in this VSI. The decision was most difficult and we congratulate the authors of those papers that were selected for their outstanding contribution.
