Climate change is significantly altering the behavior of geomaterials, impacting their mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal properties, and these changes pose challenges to the stability of infrastructure, to environmental protection, and to engineering design. With the increasing frequency of extreme and compounded climate events, understanding these impacts has become critical to advancing both research and engineering practice. This Special Issue explores the evolving interactions between climate change and geomaterials, including soils, rocks, construction materials, and geosynthetics. It features interdisciplinary research on geomaterial characterization, performance assessment, degradation mechanisms, stabilization, resilience strategies, and predictive modeling under climate-induced stresses. Applications include transportation, energy systems, environmental management, waste containment, coastal protection, and underground infrastructure. By highlighting innovative approaches and adaptive solutions, this Special Issue aims to support sustainable engineering practices and enhance the resilience of geomaterials in a rapidly changing environment.
