Geology engineers environmental scientists 3rd edition

For introductory courses in geology for engineers or engineering geology, offered in departments of geology, earth science, and civil engineering. This text provides an introduction to geology for students of engineering and environmental science — with a focus on applications that they are likely to use in their professional careers. It demonstrates the importance of geology to engineers by including introductory mechanics, hydraulics, and case studies that illustrate interactions between geology and engineering; applications involving environmental problems and solutions are given significant coverage as well.

This field has one of the most active job markets in engineering and geology. The material on internal systems now includes an expanded introduction to plate tectonics. The chapters on rocks and minerals have been reorganized so that the discussion of process comes before the description of materials. Challenges of the 21st Century.
