Book Description
Door County, Wisconsin, is a region suffering from significant groundwater contamination issues due to its vulnerable karst geology and existing anthropogenic land use activities. Current reasoning suggests implementing land use regulations defined by depth-to-bedrock conditions will be an effective tool for reducing groundwater quality impacts. The primary purpose of this project was to create an updated depth-to-bedrock map and bedrock surface elevation map for southern Door County. Additional products included in this research are an average water table elevation map, bedrock structural analysis maps, fracture trace maps, and field verification maps demonstrating the compatibility of direct (push probe, well construction reports, etc.) and indirect (geophysical) depth-to-bedrock mapping methods. Furthermore, this thesis attempted to incorporate much of the research done on the geology of the Niagara Escarpment and vulnerability of the Silurian dolomite aquifer from the era of early European settlement to the present day. Many aspects of the Silurian dolomite have already been thoroughly studied; however, data sources and key information from these projects still remain disjointed and need to be interwoven into a single comprehensible document. Numerous chapters have been written on the subject, but no one has compiled the metaphorical (and literal) book yet. This thesis aims to merge the concerns of vulnerable karst geology, anthropogenic land use, and groundwater quality protection and is anticipated to be a guiding document for researchers in other regions of the world addressing similar concerns.

Book Description
This work comprises the proceedings of a conference held last year in Rhodes, Greece, to assess developments during the last 20 years in the field of nonlinear dynamics in geosciences. The volume has its own authority as part of the Aegean Conferences cycle, but it also brings together the most up-to-date research from the atmospheric sciences, hydrology, geology, and other areas of geosciences, and discusses the advances made and the future directions of nonlinear dynamics.
Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309049962
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Scientific understanding of fluid flow in rock fracturesâ€"a process underlying contemporary earth science problems from the search for petroleum to the controversy over nuclear waste storageâ€"has grown significantly in the past 20 years. This volume presents a comprehensive report on the state of the field, with an interdisciplinary viewpoint, case studies of fracture sites, illustrations, conclusions, and research recommendations. The book addresses these questions: How can fractures that are significant hydraulic conductors be identified, located, and characterized? How do flow and transport occur in fracture systems? How can changes in fracture systems be predicted and controlled? Among other topics, the committee provides a geomechanical understanding of fracture formation, reviews methods for detecting subsurface fractures, and looks at the use of hydraulic and tracer tests to investigate fluid flow. The volume examines the state of conceptual and mathematical modeling, and it provides a useful framework for understanding the complexity of fracture changes that occur during fluid pumping and other engineering practices. With a practical and multidisciplinary outlook, this volume will be welcomed by geologists, petroleum geologists, geoengineers, geophysicists, hydrologists, researchers, educators and students in these fields, and public officials involved in geological projects.
Cities of the Future

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
This book is developed from and includes the presentations of leading international experts and scholars in the 12-14 July, 2006 Wingspread Workshop. With urban waters as a focal point, this book will explore the links between urban water quality and hydrology, and the broader concepts of green cities and smart growth. It also addresses legal and social barriers to urban ecological sustainability and proposes practical ways to overcome those barriers. Cities of the Future features chapters containing visionary concepts on how to ensure that cities and their water resources become ecologically sustainable and are able to provide clean water for all beneficial uses. The book links North American and Worldwide experience and approaches. The book is primarily a professional reference aimed at a wide interdisciplinary audience, including universities, consultants, environmental advocacy groups and legal environmental professionals.
