Gennaro G. Marino, Ph.D., P.E.

Gennaro G. Marino, Ph.D., P.E., is the President and principal engineer of MEA. As an engineer, he has been practicing geotechnical engineering since 1973 starting as a staff engineer graduating to a project engineer and now as an expert consultant on more difficult geotechnical engineering related projects. In addition Dr. Marino has given expert testimony on numerous occasions within his range of engineering experience. As an educator Dr. Marino has written about and delivered technical training programs. Also during the course of his career he has authored approximately 82 articles/research publications on advanced engineering projects and has published a textbook on Earthquake Damage. Dr. Marino currently holds a Professional Engineering License in 13 states and also has a national accreditation.

Among many honors he has received, he is a long standing member of the Society of Mining Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers, as well as a member of the American Society of Mining for Reclamation (ASMR). For many years Dr. Marino was the Chairman of the Geotechnical Engineering Division of the ASMR. The ASMR Geotechnical Division addresses the geotechnical topics related to disturbed lands. Dr. Marino is also a member of the ASTM Soil and Rock Committee and the Geotechnical Advisory Committee for the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund.

Over the past 35 years Dr. Marino has performed and supervised subsurface investigations as well as field and laboratory testing in soils and rocks as a practicing engineer and researcher. As a geotechnical and forensic engineer, Dr. Marino has worked on a variety of soil engineering projects involving earthwork including site development and foundation investigations, slope stability, retaining wall systems, soil stabilization and foundation repair, performance of pavements and subgrade conditions, soil compaction and its associated properties, seepage and impoundment failures, subsidence/settlement damage, ground movement, soil-structure interaction, as well as other soil mechanics and foundation problems. Forensic and engineering projects in rock include: stability and support of underground workings in salt, coal and hard rock; grouting; rock excavation behavior and difficulty; subsidence engineering; and seepage in rock.
