A comprehensive study of cohesive sediment requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The behaviour of cohesive sediment is determined by physical, biological and chemical aspects. Furthermore, there is a wide range of societal issues related to cohesive sediments, such as siltation in navigational channels, water quality problems, sustainable management of estuaries and wetlands, stability of continental slopes, etc <...>

The construction, design, remediation and maintenance of slopes have always formed an important area of geotechnical engineering, which is often termed as ‘slope engineering’. A wide variety of applications of slope engineering include excavations, hill roads, railway lines, embankments, earth dams, reservoirs, open-cut mines, urban development of hilly areas, protection of river banks and coastal slope stability.

Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering is important in civil engineering, but also has applications in military, mining, petroleum and other engineering disciplines that are concerned with construction occurring on the surface or within the ground.

Spatial Statistics for Data Science: Theory and Practice with R describes statistical methods, modeling approaches, and visualization techniques to analyze spatial data using R. The book starts by providing a comprehensive overview of the types of spatial data and R packages for spatial data retrieval, manipulation, and visualization. Then, it provides a detailed explanation of the theoretical concepts of spatial statistics, along with fully reproducible examples demonstrating how to simulate, describe, and analyze areal, geostatistical, and point pattern data in various applications. <...>

Te process of assessing a rock slope for stability involves the application of many branches of engineering and natural science. Te determination of rock or soil strength parameters requires a working knowledge of rock mechanics and/or soil mechanics. Knowledge of basic hydrological concepts is essential for interpreting the efects of water on a rock slope. An understanding of geology—especially structural geology, mineralogy, petrology, and the geological processes—is extremely important for the rock slope engineer. Tese areas of knowledge—geology, rock and soil mechanics, and hydrology—along with other basic areas such as statics, engineering mechanics, statistics, and structural engineering are all important elements of rock slope engineering and design. <...>

Монография посвяшсла проблеем природы и закономерностей развития метаморфических процеccoв, их роли в формировании структуры и вещественною состава земной коры раннею протерозоя. Представляет обобщение результатов многолетних исследований автора и опубликованных материалов по геологии, петрологии и геохронологии метаморфических комплексов основных структурных зон Балтийского щита. Рассмотрены вопросы периодизации и пространственно-временной корреляции метаморфической истории раннего протерозоя, особенности проявления и термодинамичсских условий прцессов метаморфизма в инфра- и cyпраструктуре земной коры, их геолого-генетической типизации, геотектонических и геодинамических обстановок проявления, а также некоторые направления использования результатов метаморфических исследований для решения прикладных задач геологии.

Almost every human endeavor is influenced by minerals. Many natural resources used in the manufacture of goods on which civilization and our lives depend begin as minerals in the ground. The crops that we eat are grown in soil composed of minerals. The safety and stability of structures such as buildings, roads, and bridges depend on the mechanical properties of the minerals that make up the rocks and soil on which they are built. In addition, the chemical composition, structure, and texture of the minerals that compose the rocks beneath our feet provide myriad clues that guide geoscientists as they attempt to decipher the history of the earth.

This volume, "The Geology of the Arab ian Peninsula," is a logical consequence of the geographic and geologic mapping project of the Arab ian Peninsula, a cooperative venture between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Government of the United States. The Arabian-American Oil Co. and the U.S. Geological Survey did the fieldwork within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and, with the approval of the governments of neighboring countries, a number of other oil companies contributed additional mapping to complete the coverage of the whole of the Arabian Peninsula. So far as we are aware, this is a unique experiment in geological cooperation among several governments, petroleum companies, and individuals. <...>
