Environmental Geology Edward Keller Pdf Viewer
Description Having originally defined the Environmental Geology course, this text is considered the most comprehensive yet readable book for a course at this 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, with more quantification of relationships, especially in the discussion of soil and rock mechanics and landslides. • The “Fundamental Concepts” of Environmental Geology are introduced in Chapter 1—including Population Growth, Sustainability, Systems, Limitation of Resources, Uniformitarianism, Hazardous Earth Process, and Geology as a Basic Environmental Science. This chapter provides an easily understandable framework that will help students understand and evaluate the philosophical and technical material presented in the text and course. • Engaging case histories open each chapter and appear throughout, introducing students to the chapter topic in context—sometimes humorous (the gold and silver mines of Palo Alto, CA), sometimes tragic (Mt. Unzen, Japan), always relevant—before tackling the details.
Also, in-chapter case histories bring the material to life through global examples, stories, and events. • E xtensive lists of primary sources appear in each chapter, encouraging students to explore the literature further through the scrupulously kept, comprehensive, current, and authoritative list of references. • The Companion Website includes: —Interactive animations with GradeTracker assessment questions —new flashcards that can be exported to selected mobile devices —quizzes —preloaded content such as easy-to-use chapter guides, self-study quizzes, animations with quizzes, case studies, interactive flashcards and more. • The Instructor Resource Center offers everything instructors need, where they want it.
The Instructor Resource Center helps instructors be more effective by saving them time and effort. All digital resources can be found in one well-organized, easy-to-access place, including all of the line art and most of the photos from the text to help with lecture presentations. • A new chapter on ecosystems and geology (Chapter 4) discusses the link to geology to ecology. • A new chapter examines the impact of exterritorial objects that have been linked to global environment and mass extinctions (Chapter 11).
• New quantitative exercises on rock mechanics, soil mechanics, average residence time, groundwater movement, and exponential growth are included. • The chapter on Global Climate change (Chapter 16) is completely revised. • Completely revised discussion of glaciers i n Chapter 2 includes updated coverage of ice sheets. • Stronger emphasis is placed on the engineering geology approach —with more quantification of relationships, especially in the discussion of soil and rock mechanics and landslides.
• The hazards chapter is significantly updated, especially the coverage of earthquakes, landslides, flooding, and coastal processes. • The chapters on Air Pollution, Environmental Health and Waste Management (formerly 12,13, and17) have been combined into a new chapter 17.
• The text has been streamlined, with the amount of chapters reduced from 18 to 17. • Thorough revision of the entire text includes approximately 25% new references. KELLER is professor of environmental geology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he holds a joint appointment with the Environmental Studies Program and the Department of Geological Sciences. Professor Keller's research focuses on natural hazards, including wildfire, flooding, and earthquakes. He is also evaluating the environmental impacts of ecotourism. Professor Keller received his doctorate from Purdue University in 1973; as a graduate student, he wrote the first five chapters of the first edition of Environmental Geology. Professor Keller enjoys teaching and research, and hopes his textbooks help students to appreciate geology and to assist them in becoming better and more informed citizens in our complex world.
