Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land subsidence is the loss of surface elevation as a result of the removal of subsurface support. The mechanisms by which this can occur may be natural in origin or induced by human activities. Common causes of land subsidence include the removal of oil, gas, and water from underground reservoirs; dissolution of limestone aquifers (sinkholes); underground mining activities; drainage of organic soils; and hydrocompaction (the initial wetting of dry soils). Overdraft of aquifers is the major cause of a really extensive land subsidence, and as ground-water pumping increases, land subsidence also will increase. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a long-standing history of describing, mapping, and conducting process-oriented research in land subsidence. In 1955, the Geological Survey formed the Mechanics of Aquifers Project under the direction of Joseph F. Poland to study the processes that result in land subsidence due to the withdrawal of ground water. From 1955 to 1984, this research team gained international renown as they advanced the understanding of aquifer mechanics and land-subsidence theory. In addition to conducting pioneering research, this group also provided a focal point within the USGS for the dissemination of technology and scientific understanding in aquifer mechanics.

Book Synopsis Land Subsidence Mitigation by : Frank R. Spellman
Download or read book Land Subsidence Mitigation written by Frank R. Spellman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the process of injecting treated wastewater into wells to replenish aquifers, and thereby slow the process of land subsidence, and help to mitigate coastal flooding. It explains how up to fifty percent of sea-level rise may be due to land subsidence, and up to fifty percent of land subsidence may be due to aquifer compaction. The concepts covered discuss replenishing aquifers with clean water to reduce nutrient discharges into out-falled waterways; providing a sustainable supply of groundwater; reducing the rate of land subsidence; and protecting the groundwater from saltwater intrusion. Practical case studies from Virginia and California will be included.

Book excerpt: This book is one out of six IAEG XIII Congress and AEG 61st Annual Meeting proceeding volumes, and deals with topics related to geologic hazards, such as earthquakes, land subsidence, coastal hazards, and the emergency response. The theme of the IAEG/AEG Meeting, held in San Francisco from September 17-21, 2018, is Engineering Geology for a Sustainable World. The meeting proceedings analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world. The meeting topics and subject areas of the six volumes are: Slope Stability: Case Histories, Landslide Mapping, Emerging Technologies; Geotechnical and Environmental Site Characterization; Mining, Aggregates, Karst; Dams, Tunnels, Groundwater Resources, Climate Change; Geologic Hazards: Earthquakes, Land Subsidence, Coastal Hazards, and Emergency Response; and Advances in Engineering Geology: Education, Soil and Rock Properties, Modeling.

Book Synopsis Site Characterization in Karst and Pseudokarst Terraines by : Richard C. Benson
Download or read book Site Characterization in Karst and Pseudokarst Terraines written by Richard C. Benson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a practical strategy for obtaining a more complete and accurate geologic site characterization. The strategy and methods to characterize complex geologic settings are readily available. The strategy utilizes readily available technology, basic science and good, old-fashioned common sense resulting in a solid understanding of geologic and even karst or pseudokarst conditions. We provide an introduction to many off-the-shelf methods available for site characterization as well as examples of their application throughout the book. The purpose of a geologic site characterization is to understand the 3-dimensional geologic framework, along with the engineering and hydrologic properties of a site including any man-made impacts. A well-done site characterization is the cornerstone of all geotechnical, groundwater and environmental projects. The geologic conditions, particularly karst conditions, can significantly impact a site including its structural stability, groundwater pathways and potential for rapid transport or traps for contaminants. Once we have adequately characterized the geologic conditions can we carry our remediation, design and construction, model flow, and make risk assessments that are accurate and reliable.
