This book was prepared for publication by an International Working
Group of experts under the auspices of COGEOENVIRONMENT - the
Commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences (lUGS)
on Geological Sciences for Environmental Planning and lUGS-GEM
(Commission on Geosciences for Environmental Management). The main
aim of the Working Group "Geology and Ecosystems" was to develop an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of the mechanisms and
special features within the "living tissue - inert nature" system
under different regional, geological, and anthropogenic conditions.
This activity requires international contributions from many
scientific fields. It requires efforts from scientists specializing
in fields such as: environmental impacts of extractive industries,
anthropogenic development and medical problems related to geology
and ecosystem interaction, the prediction of the geoenvironmental
evolution of ecosystems, etc. The Working Group determined the goal
and objectives of the book, developed the main content, discussed
the parts and chapters, and formed the team of authors and the
Editorial Board. The Meetings of the Working Group (Vilnius,
Lithuania, 2002 and Warsaw-Kielniki, Poland, 2003) were dedicated
to discussion and approval of the main content of all chapters in
the Book.

Environmental or applied geology maps are an important means of
communicating earth science background information to land-use and
development planners, administrators, and policymakers. This volume
reviews the current state of applied earth science mapping.
Sections are devoted to mapping technique
