Topic: Environmental geology

	Wiley::Environmental Geology: Geology and the Human Environment
		Environmental Geology: geology and the human environment provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of environmental geology - the interaction of humans with the geological environment.
		Despite this, environmental geology is not a new subject but a meld of three related earth science disciplines: economic geology, engineering geology and applied geomorphology, each of which has been given a new focus through the need for greater environmental management.
		Environmental geology is a practical subject, and environmental geologists have a crucial role in managing our interaction with the geological environment.

	Applied and Environmental Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Environmental Geology usually refers to the influence of anthropogenic, or human, effects on the geologic environment and vice versa.
		Environmental geophysics involves the application of electrical, magnetic, seismic, and radar techniques to environmental geology investigations such as electrically mapping a groundwater contaminant plume, or mapping the bottom of a groundwater reservoir using penetrating radar techniques.
		As a field, Applied and Environmental Geology is relatively young, but it has the potential to play an even greater role in the future as growing populations require more resources and humans become more concerned about their impact on the planet.
