E-Book Overview

Basic Environmental and Engineering Geology 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 infrastructure. The author examines the influence of geohazards, the significance of soil and water resources, and the impact of mining, waste disposal, and pollution/contamination on the environment, as well as the various aspects of construction that are involved in the development of the infrastructure. The book provides a wealth of practical examples and a comprehensive suggested reading list accompanies each chapter.
