Groundwater in Geologic Processes
The second edition of this well received and widely adopted textbook has been extensively revised to provide a more comprehensive treatment of hydromechanics (the coupling of groundwater flow and deformation), to incorporate findings from the substantial body of research published since the first edition, and to include three new chapters on compaction and diagenesis, metamorphism, and subsea hydrogeology. The opening section develops basic theory of groundwater motion, fluid-solid mechanical interaction, solute transport, and heat transport. The second section applies flow, hydromechanics, and transport theory in a generalized geologic context, and focuses on particular geologic processes and environments. A systematic presentation of theory and application coupled with problem sets to conclude each chapter make this text ideal for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate-level hydrogeologists and geologists. It also serves as an invaluable reference for professionals in the field.
• Second edition of an award winning title, includes a comprehensive treatment of hydromechanics, and new chapters on compaction and diagenesis, metamorphism, and subsea hydrogeology
• The only hydrogeology text where geology is the primary focus, therefore it is particularly suitable for geoscience students
• Brief problem sets at the end of each chapter, with solutions available online to lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521603218
