About this Book
As society becomes more aware of the significance of the
environment, such issues become increasingly important. The book
exemplifies the vital role of environmental geology and geological
processes in understanding the physical environment and the
influence and fundamental importance of engineering geology in our
modern world, particularly the infrastracture, whether it be
foundations, routeways or reservoirs.
The influence of geohazards, the significance of soil and water
resources, and the impact of mining, waste disposal and
pollution/contamination on the environment are all examined in this
book. The various aspects of construction that are involved in the
development of the infrastracture are also discussed - land
evaluation and geological construction materials are therfore taken
account of in this context. The book provides a wealth of practical
examples and a comprehensive suggested reading list is provided
for each chapter.
Contents:
Basic geology; Geology and planning; Natural geohazards; Water
resources; Soil and the environment; Mining and the environment;
Waste, contamination and the environment; Land evaluation and
site assessment; Engineering aspects of soils and rocks, Geology
and construction materials; Geology and construction.
Readership:
Advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in geology,
engineering geology, civil engineering, physical geography and
environmental science and planning. Environmental geologists,
environmental scientists, managers and planners including civil
engineers, builders and architects will find this book of immense
value.
