Environmental Geology: Insights from Applied Geology on Environmental Impact explores the critical relationship between the Earth's geological systems and environmental processes, emphasizing the impact of human activities on this balance. As global populations and industrial activities expand, the stability of geological systems and environmental sustainability are increasingly threatened.Comprising thirteen chapters, the book begins with an introduction to environmental geology, highlighting the importance of geological knowledge in addressing environmental challenges. It examines the role of applied geology in environmental management, geological hazard assessment, and the significance of soil and water resources. Key topics include management strategies and the principles of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).The text also addresses the effects of climate change on geological processes and how geology can contribute to mitigation efforts. Emphasizing sustainable management practices, it presents strategies for managing geohazards, supported by case studies. This book serves as a valuable resource for students, educators, and practitioners in the field of applied geology.
