Previously published as part of the 1993 subscription to the journals: Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, Volume 79, Nos. 1/2, Tectonophysics, Volume 223, Nos. 1/2, Chemical Geology, Volume 108, Nos. 1/4, Sedimentary Geology, Volume 86, Nos. 1/2, Global and Planetary Change, Volume 8, Nos. 1/2, Marine Geology, Volume 113, Nos. 1/2, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Volume 103, Nos. 1/2 This is a selection of keynote papers that were presented at the Interdisciplinary Union Symposia of the 7th conference of the European Union of Geosciences (EUG) from 4 to 8 April 1993 in Strasbourg. It contains both chapters reporting on forefront research as well as review articles. Since the interdisciplinary approach in the earth sciences is increasingly important, the scope of the book is wide with contributions from geology, geophysics, geochemistry and adjacent fields in biology. In a similar spirit, problems dealing with the earth's mantle as well as topics related to shallower levels in the earth and coupled earth-ocean-atmosphere systems are part of this volume. As such it provides a survey of recent advances in a wide range of fields of the earth sciences.

Developments in Engineering Geology is a showcase of the diversity in the science and practice of engineering geology. All branches of geology are applicable to solving engineering problems and this presents a wide frontier of scientific opportunity to engineering geology. In practice, diversity represents a different set of challenges with the distinctive character of the profession derived from the crossover between the disciplines of geology and engineering. This book emphasizes the importance of understanding the geological science behind the engineering behaviour of a soil or rock. It also highlights a continuing expansion in the practice areas of engineering geology and illustrates how this is opening new frontiers to the profession thereby introducing new knowledge and technology across a range of applications. This is initiating an evolution in the way geology is modelled in engineering, geohazard and environmental studies in modern and traditional areas of engineering geology.

This edited book gives a general overview on current research, focusing on geoenvironmental issues and challenges in hydrogeosciences in model regions in Asia, Europe, and America, with a focus on the Middle East and Mediterranean region and surrounding areas. This proceedings book is based on the accepted papers for oral/poster presentations at the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), Tunisia 2019. It offers a broad range of recent studies that discuss the latest advances in geoenvironmental and hydrogeosciences from diverse backgrounds including climate change, geoecology, biogeochemistry, water resources management, and environmental monitoring and assessment. It shares insights on how the understanding of ecological, climatological, oceanic and hydrological processes is the key for improving practices in environment management, including the eco-responsibility, scientific integrity, and social and ethical dimensions. It is of interest to scientists, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of environmental sciences including climatology, oceanography, ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental management, hydrology, hydrogeology, and geosciences in general. In particular, this book is of great value to students and environment-related professionals for further investigations on the state of Earth systems.

While earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are shaking up the world, there are more exciting happenings in the diverse field of geological science. This fascinating look at the discipline of geology during the past 3 to 4 years casts an eye toward future directions and showcases new ideas and ways of thinking. The broad discipline of geology is as diverse and complex as the planet itself. The most recent advances in the field such as the debate about life on Mars and the melting of the polar ice caps are included. Special attention is given to the changing role of the practicing geologist from that of an explorer and discoverer of mineral resources to that of investigator, mitigator, and predictor of natural and man made environmental hazards. Key individuals are profiled and excerpts of letters, speeches, and articles are used to explain points of view and the meaning of their advances. Numerous sources of additional information including organizations and Internet resources guide readers in further research.
