Field work, supplemented by laboratory studies, is a cornerstone
for the geological sciences. This volume provides an introduction
to general field work through selected topics that illustrate
specific techniques and methodologies. One hundred and twenty-three
main entries prepared by leading authorities from around the world
deal with aspects of exploration surveys, geotechnical engineering,
environmental management. field techniques, mapping, prospecting,
and mining. Special efforts were made to include topics that
consider aspects of environmental geology in particular those
subjects that involve field inspections related to, for example,
the placement of artificial fills, sediment control in canals and
waterways, the geologic effects of cities, or the importance of
expansive soils to environmental management and engineering. In
addition, some widely ranging topics dealing with legal affairs,
geological methodology, the scope and organization of geology,
report writing, and other concepts, such as those related to plate
tectonics and continental drift, provide a necessary perspective to
the arena of field geology.
