Summary

Geology ' Basics for Engineerspresents the physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth, the nature and the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, and the action of water. It explains how the earth is transformed by various phenomena at different scales of time and space, an approach which shows engineers how to take into account geological conditions in projects. The text also describes how to develop a wide range of natural resources, reduce geological hazards, and manage subsurface pollution. To complement its problem-based-learning approach, this instructional text also is accompanied by a CD containing solutions to the problems and animations shown throughout the book.
