Wherever possible, without a loss of necessary precision, terminology is deliberately simplified. It offers professors a more streamlined alternative to the longer introductory text. It emphasizes human-environment interactions and discusses the latest research in physical geology. An Introduction to Geology Author : C. An Introduction to Geology Author : R.
Living With Earth: An Introduction to Environmental Geology is ideal for those students, fostering a better understanding of how they interact with Earth and how their actions can affect Earth's environmental health.
The informal, reader-friendly presentation is organized around a few unifying perspectives: how the various Earth systems interact with one another; how Earth affects people creating hazards but also providing essential resources ; and how people affect Earth.
Greater emphasis is placed on environment and sustainability than on geology, unlike other texts on the subject. Essential scientific foundations are presented - but the ultimate goal is to connect students proactively to their role as stakeholders in Earth's future. An Introduction to Geology Author : J.
Marr uses simple language to describe geological phenomena such as earthquakes and the erosive effects of the wind, sea, glaciers and rivers. The text is illustrated with diagrams and photographs demonstrating many of the topics discussed, including fossils and geological strata. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of science education in Britain. Engineering geology is the application of geological data, techniques and principles to the study of rock and soil surficial materials, and ground water.
This is essential for the proper location, planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering structures. Engineering geology complements environmental geology, or hydrogeology. What does Engineering Geology Study? Rock, soil, water, the interaction among these three constituents, as well as with engineering materials and structures.
Geological processes could be natural or result from human activities, e. Mass wasting occurs on both terrestrial and submarine slopes. What are the key factors that may trigger slope failure? What are the indicators of impending slope failure? Jaafar A Mohammed. By Maurizio Polemio. Download PDF.
