Ocena: 0 (0 głosów)

This book is an introduction to hydrogeology and assumes that students have had one year of basic college calculus (differential and integral calculus). It's applicable for hydrogeololgy, geohydrology, groundwater and geologic fluids courses taken by juniors and seniors, and may also find application in graduate courses which emphasize the role of fluids in geologic applications.The primary goal is to emphasize the geologic aspects of hydrogeology -- the text is not designed solely for those who desire to specialize in hydrogeology. Fluids are intimately involved in nearly all geologic processes, and this text is designed to introduce the average student to that world.Emphasizes the role of pore fluids in geologic processes and how these moving fluids redistribute mass and energy within the Earth's crust, as well as their role in plate tectonics. This book de-emphasizes the applied science of extracting water from wells and includes much geologically-oriented material not found anywhere else.Develops the necessary theory to address each principle followed by examples.Includes 15 biographies of the founders of the science. This provides students with historical information on the science.Most students who take a course in hydrogeology are juniors or seniors. However, this material is accessible to any student with a year of freshman calculus. The book should also find application in graduate courses which emphasize the role of fluids in geologic applications.An up-to-date and lengthy section on environmental hydrogeology, including a discussion of saltwater intrusion, land subsidence, and groundwater contamination.The book contains 12 case studies which illustrate the application of principles through real life examples.The book is written with the student in mind. Every attempt has been made to make the material as clear as possible. Vocabulary words are defined and introduced again in the glossary.This book contains perspectives on water witching, qanats, the Mississippi River, Wells throughout history, balneology, hot springs, and spas, and others.
