Environmental Fluid Mechanics provides comprehensive coverage of a combination of basic fluid principles and their application in a number of different... situations-exploring fluid motions on the earth's surface, underground, and in oceans-detailing the use of physical and numerical models and modern computational approaches for the analysis of environmental processes.Environmental Fluid Mechanics covers novel scaling methods for a variety of environmental issues; equations of motion for boundary layers; hydraulic characteristics of open channel flow; surface and internal wave theory; the advection diffusion equation; sediment and associated contaminant transport in lakes and streams; mixed layer modeling in lakes; remediation; transport processes at the air/water interface; and more.

Focusing on the use and misuse of the environment, this forward-looking book provides insights into where we seem to be headed as a species on the... planet. Emphasizes the geographic aspects of problems, such as air pollution, locational factors, scales considerations, distributions and spatial associations. Provides an overview of the modern environmental dilemma and the factors that need to be examined in order to gain an understanding of the problem. Features a review of our planet's open lands and the effort to preserve and manage them.

Environmental Geology, ninth edition, presents the student with a broad overview of environmental geology. The text looks both at how the earth... developed into its present condition and where matters seem to be moving for the future. It is hoped that this knowledge will provide the student with a useful foundation for discussing and evaluating specific environmental issues, as well as for developing ideas about how the problems should be solved.

Reichard's Environmental Geology emphasizes human interaction with the environment within a geological context. The writing style holds the interest of... nonmajor students, and the text brings applications to the forefront so that students feel a connection to the topic.

Having originally defined the Environmental Geology course, this is considered the most comprehensive yet readable book for your course level. Keller... continues to offer the most detailed, current research available. He covers a wide range of topics, discussing everything from fundamental geologic principles to the specifics of environmental law and geologic hazards, from a truly environmental perspective. The Ninth Edition emphasizes the engineering geology approach, especially in the discussion of soil and rock mechanics and landslides.

Intended for the introductory-level college course, the principal aim of this text is to present the student with a broad overview of environmental... geology.

This book offers one of the most comprehensive, up-to-date treatments of environmental geology available—from fundamental geologic principles to... the specifics of environmental law and geological hazards. It fully discusses both processes and environmental issues, and where appropriate, includes boxes with quantification of processes. Case Histories and examples reflect a cross-section of the United States, and Special Features boxes highlight "classic" and recent environmental disasters. Features high-quality photographs and illustrations throughout. Earth Materials and Processes. Soils and Environment. Natural Hazards: An Overview. Rivers and Flooding. Landslides and Related Phenomena. Earthquakes and Related Phenomena. Volcanic Activity. Coastal Hazards. Water: Process, Supply, and Use. Water Pollution and Treatment. Waste Management. The Geologic Aspects of Environmental Health. Mineral Resources and Environment. Energy and Environment. Global Change and Earth System Science. Air Pollution. Landscape Evaluation and Land Use. For geologists, environmental scientists, and foresters.

Suitable for introductory environmental and physical geology courses, Environmental Geology is the only available geology textbook conceived and written... from an Earth system science perspective--an approach that helps students comprehend and appreciate the Earth's varied environments and the whole-Earth systems that connect them.  Arranged in four parts, the book moves from general concepts to individual solid and fluid Earth systems to global environmental change.

This easy-to-use, easy-to-learn-from laboratory manual for environmental geology employs an interactive question-and-answer format that engages the... student right from the start of each exercise.  Tom Freeman, an award-winning teacher with 30 years experience, takes a developmental approach to learning that emphasizes principles over rote memorization.  His writing style is clear and inviting, and he includes scores of helpful hints to coach students as they tackle problems.
