Military Geosciences in the Twenty-First Century by Russell S. Harmon,Sophie E. Baker,Eric V. McDonald Pdf
"Eighteen chapters address the complex yet critical aspects of the role of geosciences in military undertakings. The chapters cover a wide range of expertise drawn from the broad area of geology, geomorphology, geography, geophysics, engineering geology, hydrogeology, cartography, environmental science, remote sensing, soil science, geoinformatics, and related disciplines that reflect the multidisciplinary nature of military geology"--

This book is a collection of papers presented at the 11th International Conference of Military Geoscience that was held in 2015. The conference included discussion on a diverse range of geosciences, including military history, military geology, teaching geology from a military prospective, geological influence on the battlefield, and environmental and cultural issues related to management of military lands. Geology and geography have played a significant role in military history, from providing the stone for primitive tools and weapons, to the utilization of terrain in offensive and defensive strategies. Specific to this volume, deserts comprise nearly a third of the Earth’s surface and have been the site of numerous battles where the dust, heat, and a lack of food and water have provided challenges to military leaders and warriors. This book examines the role of deserts in past and modern warfare, the problems and challenges in managing military lands in desert regions, and how desert environmental conditions can impact military equipment and personnel. This proceedings volume should be of interest to scholars, professionals, and those interested in military history, warfare, geology, geography, cultural resources, general science, and military operations.

Military Geology and Topography by Herbert E. Gregory Pdf
Excerpt from Military Geology and Topography: A Presentation of Certain Phases of Geology, Geography and Topography for Military Purposes The organization of Students' Army Training Corps in American educational institutions involves a readjustment of courses of instruction. The extent to which the modification of existing courses and the introduction of new courses is desirable has been indicated in a circular transmitted to colleges and universities by the Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department. This circular includes the statement: "The branches of earth science which contribute most directly to military needs are Military Geology and Geography including Meteorology and Military Mapping," and recommends that some course or courses covering these topics be offered in each institution where geology or geography is taught. This action was taken because the Great War has demonstrated the desirability of more widely diffused knowledge of geology as an aid in conducting military operations and in the solution of economic problems relating to raw materials. In response to many requests for guidance in the presentation of the courses which were called for by the Committee of the War Department, the National Research Council through its Division of Geology and Geography has prepared Military Geology and Topography, Introductory Meteorology and a syllabus on the Geography of Europe as text books for students. In the preparation of Military Geology the following have collaborated: Professor Nevin M. Fenneman, University of Cincinnati; Professor C. P. Berkey, Dr. A. K. Lobcck, and Dr. Frederick Morris, Columbia University; Professor W. W. Atwood and Professor J. B. Woodworth, Harvard University; Professor H. L. Fairchild, University of Rochester; Dr. Willis T. Lee, Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, O. E. Mcinzcr, and P. S. Smith, United States Geological Survey; Dr. J. E. Spurr, United States Bureau of Mines; Professor H. F. Cleland, Williams College; Professor C. K. Leith and Professor W. J. Mead, University of Wisconsin; Professor W. E. Ford, Professor Herbert E. Gregory, and Dr. George E. Nichols, Yale University. Valuable criticism has been received from M. R. Campbell, N. C. Grover, J. C. Hoyt, B. H. Lane, J. L. Ridgway, and G. M. Wood of the United States Geological Survey, and from others whose duties in connection with the war prevented fuller participation.

African Military Geosciences by Jacques Bezuidenhout Pdf
This eight-chapter volume, African Military Geosciences: Military History and the Physical Environment, is a tour-de-force covering nearly 500 years of African military geosciences. It is a truly global book that reveals keen insights into regional, national and international military-forces activities centered in Africa and how the understanding of geosciences plays important roles. It is written for the specialist, but also attractive to the general military buff - well referenced and illustrated with figures from primary sources, historical catalogues and compendia. The publication explores the "e;age of sail"e;, harbour defenses, the trafficability of desert environments and marshes, as well as climate controls on sailing or land battles. There is even insight into an elite artillery unit staffed by women during Second World War - essentially covering the whole gamut. Ultimately, the reader explores a nearly 500-year journey around the African continent and beyond.

Military Geoscience: A Multifaceted Approach to the Study of Warfare by Aldino Bondesan,Judy Ehlen Pdf
This volume presents a selection of papers from the 13th International Conference on Military Geosciences (ICMG), held 24-28 June 2019 in Padua, Italy. It covers a wide range of subjects within the confines of military geoscience written by scientists with a variety of different backgrounds from many countries throughout the world. Many of the papers focus on subjects related to Italy and World War I, but additional subject areas include international perspectives in the military geosciences, international security, geospatial intelligence and remote sensing, subterranean and underground warfare, analyses of historical battlefields and fortifications, and military archaeology. The book will be of interest to academics (e.g., military historians, military archaeologists, military geographers and geologists), applied geoscientists (e.g., engineering geologists and geologists working in other areas of applied geology), professional geoscientists, and those with a general interest in military geoscience and history.

Military Aspects of Hydrogeology by Edward P. F. Rose,J. D. Mather Pdf
This book contains 20 papers from authors in the UK, USA, Germany and Austria. Historically, it gives examples of the influence of groundwater on battlefield tactics and fortress construction; describes how groundwater was developed for water supply and overcome as an obstacle to military engineering and cross-country vehicular movement by both sides in World Wars I and II; and culminates with examples of the application of hydrogeology to site boreholes in recent conflicts, notably in Afghanistan. Examples of current research described include hydrological model development; the impact of variations in soil moisture on explosive threat detection and cross-country vehicle mobility; contamination arising from defence sites and its remediation; privatization of water supplies; and the equitable allocation of resources derived from an international transboundary aquifer.
This book discusses the relationship between geology and fighting during the American Civil War. Terrain was largely determined by the underlying rocks and how the rocks weathered. This book explores the difference in rock type between multiple battlegrounds and how these rocks influenced the combat, tactics, and strategies employed by the soldiers and their commanding officers at different scales.
