Geology involves the study of the Earth's materials, structures, and processes, including those relevant to mining operations. Mining engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the planning, design, and operation of mines, which requires a solid understanding of geology to locate and extract mineral resources efficiently and sustainably.
Rule of thumb - first word describes the second Geological Engineering - A specialization within the field of engineering. This course of study incorporates many aspects of civil and mining engineering, with some geology and hydrology topics mixed in. Engineering Geology - Geology based, specifically as related to engineering applications. This includes hydrology, geophysics, rock mechanics, and geotechnics. This would likely involve much more geology than engineering however. Both Geological Engineering as well as Engineering Geology can be studied at the undergraduate level (B.S. / BSc) in addition to (in various forms at the) graduate level (M.S. / MSc). One observation I have noted through personal experience and research is that a person with a Geo. Eng. degree is far more likely to be viewed as an "engineer" as compared to a "geologist" with the alternative option.
no that's engineering
Engineering geology and earth/rock mechanics are closely related fields of study. Engineering geology focuses on understanding the geological materials and processes in order to assess their suitability for engineering projects. Earth/rock mechanics, on the other hand, deals with the mechanical behavior of geological materials under stress and how they respond to engineering applications. Together, these disciplines contribute to the assessment, design, and construction of safe and sustainable infrastructure projects.
Both quarrying and solar evaporation are included in the category of surface mining. Surface mining methods involve removing minerals or other materials from the Earth's surface, as opposed to underground mining where resources are extracted from beneath the ground.
An important part of geology is the study of how Earth's materials, structures, organisms, and the processes acting upon them, have changed over time. By studying geology, we can better understand the nature and probable consequences of the many events that the future holds for Earth and its inhabitants (especially humans) This helps us to prepare ourselves for these eventualities.

Technically none. Herbert Hoover was a mining engineer but he did not have a degree in engineering, it was in geology. Jimmy Carter has a BS degree in science and went on to take engineering classes and reactor technology/nuclear physics and worked as an engineer on submarines.
The web address of the Idaho Museum Of Mining And Geology is: http://www.idahomuseum.org
Some jobs are mining, sculpting gem cutting, selling minerals, geologist, physical geology or enviromental geologist.
Herbert Hoover got a degree in engineering at Stanford- he was a mining engineer of note and worked all over the world in that capacity.
