Groundwater in Geologic Processes

The 2006 Second Edition Of This Well Received And Widely Adopted Textbook Has Been Extensively Revised To Provide A More Comprehensive Treatment Of Hydromechanics (The Coupling Of Groundwater Flow And Deformation) To Incorporate Findings From The Substantial Body Of Research Published Since The First Edition And To Include Three New Chapters On Compaction And Diagenesis Metamorphism And Subsea Hydrogeology. The Opening Section Develops Basic Theory Of Groundwater Motion Fluid-Solid Mechanical Interaction Solute Transport And Heat Transport. The Second Section Applies Flow Hydromechanics And Transport Theory In A Generalized Geologic Context And Focuses On Particular Geologic Processes And Environments. A Systematic Presentation Of Theory And Application Coupled With Problem Sets To Conclude Each Chapter Make This Text Ideal For Use By Advanced Undergraduate And Graduate-Level Hydrogeologists And Geologists. It Also Serves As An Invaluable Reference For Professionals In The Field.
