Underground Space Use. Analysis of the Past and Lessons for the Future, Two Volume Set: Proceedings of the International World Tunnel Congress and the ... Assembly, Istanbul, Turkey, 7-12 May 2005 Feature

The 200 papers in this two-volume set are a selection of work by tunnel experts from Europe, Asia, and the USA, and also showcase the work of the host nation, Turkey. As the title implies, the scope of the book is enormous, covering every aspect of tunnelling from contract management to safety. The book is of special interest to researchers, scientists, engineers, project managers and manufacturers in the areas of tunnelling, underground structures, geotechnics, and geology as well as those involved in analysis and remedy of the safety aspects of tunnels. Includes a CD-ROM of the proceedings.

Permafrost Response on Economic Development, Environmental Security and Natural Resources (NATO Science Partnership Sub-Series: 2:) Feature

The permafrost regions of the planet are remote, barren and isolated; as far as the decision makers are concerned, these inhospitable regions are simply "out of sight, out of mind", having no immediate effect on the global environment and habitat. Those who are pioneering the study of the permafrost, however, know better, as they confront the sustainable development of these peculiarly resource-rich regions. It rapidly became evident that social survival was not merely a matter of technology, and sustainable development involved more than just bringing in adequate machinery. Operating in permafrost regions necessitates a thorough understanding of all aspects of their ecology. This state-of-the-art book on permafrost discusses the topic in terms of geology, biology, chemistry, physics, climatology, engineering, land development, environmental management, social and economic impacts. Topics discussed include on- and offshore data assessment, past and future permafrost evolution according to global climate change, engineering effects on permafrost, and new dimensions in geocryology, including gas hydrates, microbiology, and information technology.

Rock Quality, Seismic Velocity, Attenuation and Anisotropy

Rock Quality, Seismic Velocity, Attenuation and Anisotropy Review

See more picture

Rock Quality, Seismic Velocity, Attenuation and Anisotropy Feature

Seismic measurements take many forms, and have a universal role in the earth sciences. There are huge rewards to be gained from ‘seeing’ below the earth’s surface. This unique book describes seismic behaviour at many scales, and provides the appropriate interpretation in terms of rock mechanics.

Reviewing examples of seismic measurements from numerous fields in civil, mining, petroleum, geophysics, and tectonophysics, and stretching over ten orders of magnitude, the book considers seismic measurements from microcrack compliance in laboratory tests samples to crustal and mid-ocean ridge measurements, where the emphasis is on velocity-depth-age models. Between these extremes, Dr Barton covers in situ block tests, borehole stability, dam and bridge foundations, quarry blasting, transportation tunnels, rock caverns, nuclear waste repository studies and mine openings. The approach is cross-disciplinary and deliberately non-mathematical and phenomenological in nature, with a wealth of figures and a wide review of the literature from many earth science fields.

Intended for consultants, practitioners, university teachers and senior students in geophysics, geology and engineering geology who are engaged with the interpretation of seismic measurements in rock and petroleum engineering.

Remote Sensing Geology Feature

For nearly three decades there has been a phenomenal growth in the field of Remote Sensing. The second edition of this widely acclaimed book has been fully revised and updated. The reader will find a wide range of information on various aspects of geological remote sensing, ranging from laboratory spectra of minerals and rocks, ground truth, to aerial and space-borne remote sensing. This volume describes the integration of photogeology into remote sensing as well as how remote sensing is used as a tool of geo-exploration. It also covers a wide spectrum of geoscientific applications of remote sensing ranging from meso- to global scale. The subject matter is presented at a basic level, serving students as an introductory text on remote sensing. The main part of the book will also be of great value to active researchers.
