Book Description
Winner of the 2007 E.B. Burwell, Jr. Award of the Geological Society of America Mining activity has left a legacy of hazards to the environment, such as waste, unstable ground and contamination, which can be problematic when redeveloping land. This book highlights the effects of past mining and provides information on the types of problems it may cause in both urban and rural areas. By way of example, the book also demonstrates how such problems may be anticipated, investigated, predicted, prevented and controlled. Furthermore, it shows how sites already affected by mining problems and hazards can be remediated and rehabilitated. Covering subsidence, surface mining, disposal of waste, problems resulting from mine closure and mineral processing, Mining and its Impact on the Environment is an excellent reference for practising mining and geotechnical engineers, as well as students in this field.

Book Description
LAND SUBSIDENCE: CASE STUDIES AND CURRENT RESEARCH edited by James W. Borchers. Land Subsidence is a worldwide problem. Under the auspices of the Association of Engineering Geologists, carefully selected experts contributed papers to this comprehensive compendium The contributors, from the United State & 10 other countries include practitioners, researchers, planners & attorneys -- experts that you can depend upon. Current & historically significant research: Innovative theory & monitoring equipment. Case histories describing site exploration & evaluation. Predictive modeling. Damage to infrastructure. Engineering of remedial construction. Topics include: Migration or removal of subsurface fluid such as brine, salt water, hydrocarbons. Hydrocompaction of moisture deficient sediments: debris flow deposits, artificial fill. Oxidation of peat deposits. Collapse of underground ad solution mine voids. Tunneling. Karst terrain. Going beyond engineering geology & hydrology, this timely resource includes insight into political & legal issues. Offers an understanding of the public policy decision making processes related to land subsidence. Property rights & land use. Regulatory issues. Topics critical to consulting engineers, planners, developers, attorneys & geologists. Hardcover. 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Extensive illustrations! 576 pages.
