This book provides a practical strategy for obtaining a more
complete and accurate geologic site characterization. The strategy
and methods to characterize complex geologic settings are readily
available. The strategy utilizes readily available technology,
basic science and good, old-fashioned common sense resulting in a
solid understanding of geologic and even karst or pseudokarst
conditions. We provide an introduction to many off-the-shelf
methods available for site characterization as well as examples of
their application throughout the book. The purpose of a geologic
site characterization is to understand the 3-dimensional geologic
framework, along with the engineering and hydrologic properties of
a site including any man-made impacts. A well-done site
characterization is the cornerstone of all geotechnical,
groundwater and environmental projects. The geologic conditions,
particularly karst conditions, can significantly impact a site
including its structural stability, groundwater pathways and
potential for rapid transport or traps for contaminants. Once we
have adequately characterized the geologic conditions can we carry
our remediation, design and construction, model flow, and make risk
assessments that are accurate and reliable.
