About this title

Synopsis

Environmental or applied geology maps are an important means of communicating earth science background information to land-use and development planners, administrators, and policymakers. This volume reviews the current state of applied earth science mapping. Sections are devoted to mapping techniques, data handling, water, minerals, soils, hazards, construction, the interface with other types of mapping, and future trends. Each section has an introduction which gives enough background for non-specialists to appreciate the content. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review

`It provides a clear overview of many uses of maps, many detailed examples, extensive references, and frequent summary tables of key points to be considered. All in all, an excellent job.'
Geophysics, April 1991
