Geology - Basics for Engineers (second edition) presents the
physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth, the nature and
the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, the
action of water, how the Earth is transformed by various phenomena
at different scales of time and space. The book shows the engineer
how to take geological conditions into account in their projects,
and how to exploit a wide range of natural resources in an
intelligent way, reduce geological hazards, and manage subsurface
pollution. This second edition has been fully revised and updated.
Through a problem-based learning approach, this instructional text
imparts knowledge and practical experience to engineering students
(undergraduate and graduate level), as well as to experts in the
fields of civil engineering, environmental engineering, earth
sciences, architecture, land and urban planning. Free digital
supplements to the book, found on the book page, contain solutions
to the problems and animations that show additional facets of the
living Earth. The original French edition of the book (2007) won
the prestigious Roberval Prize, an international contest organized
by the University of Technology of Compiegne in collaboration with
the General Council of Oise, France. Geology, Basics for Engineers
was selected out of a total of 110 candidates. The jury praised the
book as a "very well conceived teaching textbook" and underscored
its highly didactic nature, as well as the excellent quality of its
