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.

Book Description
Land subsidence (LS) is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials. More than 80% of the identified LS in the nation is due to our exploitation of underground water (UW). This report illustrates the 3 basic mechanisms by which human influence on UW causes land subsidence: compaction of aquifer systems, dewatering of organic soils, and mass wasting through dissolution and collapse of susceptible earth materials. Also examines the role that water-management groups play in mitigating subsidence damages. Color and B&W photos, maps, and drawings.

Book Description
The Science of Land Subsidence explains the current science underpinning natural and human-made land subsidence events, and provides students and interested readers with sufficient background on the basics of geology, natural science, chemical, and environmental engineering. Moreover, it presents a wide-ranging discussion presented in the author’s comprehensible conversational style describing the impact of land subsidence events on health, sustenance, and society in general, and provides various case studies covering catastrophic land subsidence events. This book is directed at undergraduate and graduate students, professionals, scientists, and the general reading public who would like to gain a broad multidisciplinary view of one of the greatest challenges of our generation. • Describes the impact of land subsidence events on health, sustenance, and society in general. • Provides various case studies covering catastrophic land subsidence events.
