Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and ground subsidence hazard detection; lo…
This book describes each method of geophysical surveying, including new topics such as: microgravimetry, shallow reflection seismic profiling, the generalized reciprocal method (GRM) of interpretation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and radio-imaging, radon emanometry, cross-h…
Terrain analysis for pipeline corridor selection / Lynden A. Penner, Jason I. Cosford, and Troy A.M. Zimmer -- Data generation, integration, management, and visualization / Matt Tindall, Moness Rizkalla, and Rodney S. Read "This book will serve as a valuable reference to widely…
"This book will serve as a valuable reference to widely applicable and critically important geoenvironmental topics for pipeline engineers worldwide. The topics covered are: route selection, open cut and elevated driver crossings, horizontal directional drilling, buoyancy contro…

This second edition of the 2008 ASME publication on the same topic is an expanded and updated treatment of a broader range of pipeline geohazard management aspects to serve the global community of pipeliners - both those of a geotechnical background as well as their colleagues i…
Geologic Aspects of Hazardous Waste Management brings together technical, legislative, regulatory, and business aspects of hazardous waste issues as they pertain to preventing, assessing, containing, and remediating soil and groundwater contamination. The book emphasizes how sub…
It is difficult to believe that our planet has been weaponized before our very eyes, but that is exactly what has happened. First, we were seduced by the convenience of a wireless world; then, atmospheric weather experimentation in the guise of carbons "climate change" converted…
