Geologically Active contains over 500 papers from 44 countries
worldwide, which were presented at the 11th Congress of the IAEG,
and includes the state-of-the-art on practise in engineering
geology. Engineering geology now extends into a host of linked
fields: disaster risk management and climate change, preservation
of lifelines, geophysics, interpretation of satellite imagery,
communication, instrumentation, mining, tunnelling, groundwater,
rehabilitation and brown-field development, wine, recyclable
materials, ethics, and education. Communication with
non-specialists and developing green solutions has never been more
important and the industry is evolving tools and emerging ideas to
more appropriately achieve this.
This volume brings together engineering, science and practice to
focus on the very real effects of active geological processes on
communities and infrastructure and their development. The theme of
Geologically Active is developed through five chapters focussing on
assessment and identification of natural hazards, the meeting of
geological phenomena with people and infrastructure to create risk,
approaches to hazard mitigation around the world, application of
engineering geological techniques and practice, site investigation
and geotechnical modelling, and engineering geology in the global
economy, bridging the gap between scientists, engineers and
non-practitioners in a changing world environment. Geologically
Active encourages the transformation of science research into
practice, offering a connection between scientific progress and
community resilience, and will be invaluable to engineering and
geological academics and consultants, government organizations, and
power and mining companies.
