"Geosciences, Environment and Man" has three major objectives,
which determine the division in three parts of this volume: I. To
consider the main natural geological processes interfering with and
therefore threatening the activities of man: earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, land movements, floods, wind and coastal risks; main
prevention and mitigation measures against these natural hazards
are presented. II. To examine the exploitation of earth's natural
resources such as materials, ores and minerals, fossil fuels,
water, radioactivity, and the resulting consequences on solid Earth
balance and future. III. To assess the hold level reached by the
activities of man on planet surface envelopes through agriculture,
urbanization, industrialization, and communication; the local to
global effects of human influence triggered by recent demographic
growth on underground, soils, water and air characters are taken
into account. Both deteriorating and beneficial aspects of Earth -
the interactions of man are emphasized, as well as mitigation or
restoration measures and perspectives.
