This book and the accompanying DVD provide a statement of our knowledge and understanding of engineering geology as applied to the urban environment at the start of the 21st century. In particular, this volume demonstrates that: -working standards originally developed nationally are becoming internationalized -risk assessment, rather than just assessment of hazards, is driving decision-making -geo-environmental change, whether climatically or anthropogenically driven, is becoming better understood -greater use of underground space is being made -the relentless advance of information technology

Moving away from the observation-and-vocabulary focus of traditional physical geology lab manuals, Peters and Daviss Geology from Experience offers experiments that favor hands-on involvement and scientific problem-solving. Students are asked to use geological tools and techniques; analyze data from observation, experiment and research; solve simple equations; and make assessments and relevant predictions. This approach, class-tested with great success by the authors, gives students a real taste of the scientific experience by revealing the ways geologists actually do their work.

The Geology of Fluvial Deposits represents the first published synthesis of research on the sedimentary geology of fluvial deposits. It sets out in detail the methods for the field and subsurface study of these sediments, and provides geologists with detailed descriptions of the building blocks of fluvial stratigraphic units, from lithofacies through architectural elements and depositional systems to large-scale stratigraphic sequences and basin-fill complexes. The book contains a new classification of oil and gas fields in fluvial reservoirs, with descriptions of selected case examples. Profu

Focusing on the Precambrian in the central part of the Fennoscandian Shield, the book combines the results from modern geological and geophysical research into a detailed petrologic, lithologic, and structural synthesis and interpretation of the Archean and Proterozoic of Finland. It will be of value to anyone interested in the evolution of the shield in particular and in Precambrian geology in general.

The small chunk of North America enclosed within the state boundaries of Connecticut and Rhode Island includes parts of at least six former continents, microcontinents, and volcanic island chains, each with its own geologic history. Roadside Geology of Connecticut and Rhode Island introduces readers to the sequence of mountain-building collisions that welded the pieces of land together and to the subsequent upwelling of magma that nearly broke them apart again. Twenty roadguides, complete with maps, photographs, and diagrams, locateand interpret the rocks and landforms visible from the state s
