Quaternary Geology for Scientists and Engineers by J. A. Catt Pdf

On the effects of Quaternary processes of erosion, deposition, soil development, and recognition and interpretation. Methods of classifying, correlating, mapping and dating are described, and the useful interrelations with other disciplines involved in Quaternary studies are explored. The wide range of analytical laboratory techniques applicable to Quaternary deposits are not described in detail, but their uses and limitations are discussed so that the field geologist can decide when it is worth calling upon the services of an expert analyst.

Engineering Geology and Geomorphology of Glaciated and Periglaciated Terrains by J.S. Griffiths,C.J. Martin Pdf

The Engineering Group of the Geological Society Working Party brought together experts in glacial and periglacial geomorphology, Quaternary history, engineering geology and geotechnical engineering to establish best practice when working in former glaciated and periglaciated environments. The Working Party addressed outdated terminology and reviewed the latest academic research to provide an up-to-date understanding of glaciated and periglaciated terrains. This transformative, state-of-the-art volume is the outcome of five years of deliberation and synthesis by the Working Party. This is an essential reference text for practitioners, students and academics working in these challenging ground conditions. The narrative style, and a comprehensive glossary and photo-catalogue of active and relict sediments, structures and landforms make this material relevant and accessible to a wide readership.

Geology for Engineers and Environmental Scientists by Alan E. Kehew Pdf

The fourth edition of Geology for Engineers and Environmental Scientists provides students with a basic foundation in the principles of geology, along with an illustration of how engineers must design and build their projects with natural geologic materials and protect them from potentially hazardous geologic processes. Kehew introduces engineering topics including soil and rock mechanics with a quantitative approach that will give students a head start in more advanced engineering courses. The book is prefaced with a discussion of engineering and environmental challenges that our society must face in the current century, such as population growth, scarcity of water and mineral resources, transition to renewable energy, and effects of climate change. Numerous examples of engineering and environmental applications ranging from short descriptions to extensive case histories, such as the “Big Dig” in Boston to the effects of Hurricane Katrina and reconstruction afterward, are included in every chapter. A full chapter is devoted to subsurface contamination and cleanup technologies. For the first time, a large color insert will highlight geological features in the field.

Glacial Geology by N. Eyles Pdf

An introduction for courses that involve some knowledge of glacial geology and sediments of formerly glaciated terrains. The early chapters describe depositional processes at modern glacier and ice-sheet margins relating sediments and landforms in recurring "landsystems". Later chapters portray the distribution of these landsystems in Pleistocene glaciated terrains of the mid-latitudes, focussing on commonly encountered problems in various fields from stratigraphic and sedimentological investigations to construction problems relating to roads and dams. The resulting text is a summation of a large body of literature previously accessible only to specialists. A substantial reference list is complemented by cross-references throughout.

Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology of Northwestern Manitoba by L. A. Dredge,F. M. Nixon,R. J. Richardson,Geological Survey of Canada Pdf

The landscape of Northwestern Manitoba is typical of much of the Canadianmidnorth. The area includes an extensive tract of muskeg in the south, which passes through boreal forest to tundra barrens. Some parts of theregion lie within the zone of continuous permafrost; others lie in thedescontinuous permafrost zole. Major lanscape elements were shaped inpre-Quaternary times, but most surface deposits and landforms are the resultof the last contental glaciaion and the subsequent inundation of glaciallakes and the sea. This report was written in response to a need for information on terrain conditions related to engineering construction, andon glacial transport patterns as they relate to drift prospecting and mineralexploration.
