Bill Putnam had a clear and lucid style and an ability to explain complex geological matters in a very readable and understandable way. We have tried to maintain that style while adding new data on developments and discoveries that have taken place in the fifteen years since the first edition was published.
Developments in Engineering Geology merupakan sebuah wadah yang menunjukkan keberagaman dalam sains dan praktik geologi teknik. Semua cabang geologi dapat diterapkan untuk menyelesaikan masalah teknik, dan hal ini menyajikan cakrawala peluang ilmiah yang luas bagi bidang geologi teknik. Dalam praktiknya, keberagaman ini menghadirkan rangkaian tantangan yang berbeda, dengan karakter khas prof…
This volume presents the contemporary issues surrounding groundwater pollution risk assessment and the application of vulnerability and risk assessment maps for the effective protection and management of aquifers. Numerous new and improved approaches to intrinsic and specific vulnerability assessment (modified DRASTIC, GOD, VULK, VURAAS) are described, some coupled with geophysical and hydrolog…
Maintaining its student-friendly writing style and smooth integration of core concepts and environmental issues, this best-selling introductory text has been updated to include coverage of recent geologic events, such as the 1995 Kobe earthquake, the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and 1995 World and Regional Population Growth data and projections. Now in its fifth edition, Environmental Geology ai…
Geology (from the Greek Ge, the earth;logos, logical speech or science) is the science of the earth, its constitution, structure and development, of the processes going on in its atmospheric, aqueous and stone envelopes. The earth, the globe is comprised of several shells.
Recent shallow seismic profilling survey by the Geological Research and Development Centre in cooperation with the Navy (AL) resulted in subsurface bottom sections which give for the first time an insight on the subsurface geology in the vicinity of the Krakatau-group (Akil and Lubis, S., 1983; Sukardjono, 1983).
The Krakatau complex situated in the Sunda Strait, as a part of the Lampung Province (105°21'20" - 105°27'44" E. Long/6°03'0 2, Lot.), consists of four islands: Rakata, Sortung, Panjang and Anak Krakatau. The bordering sides facing each other at Nakata, Sertung and Panjong show a steep morphology which forms the enlders wall, at none places revealing faults. The chronology of the volcanic…
