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
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.

Land Subsidence Mitigation
Author : Frank R. Spellman
Publisher : CRC Press
Page : 425 pages
File Size : 42,1 MB
Release : 2017-08-22
Category : Science
ISBN : 1351617567
Book Description
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 Description
The General Assembly of the United Nations passed a resolution on December 11, 1987, designating the 1990s as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. This resolution has served as a catalyst in promotion of international cooperation in the field of natural disaster reduction; in initiation of wide-ranging research activities on natural and man-made disasters; in development of tech nologies for assessment, prediction, prevention, and mitigation through technical assistance, technology transfer, demonstration projects, and education and training; and in dissemination of information related to measures for assessment, prediction, prevention, and mitigation of natural disasters. Disasters are manifestations of environmental extremes. Depending upon the type of disasters, their occurrence may have short-term andlor long-term detri mental environmental consequences. Disasters cannot be prevented altogether, but their impact can be mitigated. This book is an attempt to provide a discussion of hydrological aspects of the various types of natural disasters. It is hoped that others will be stimulated to write more comprehensive texts on this subject of enormous importance.
Subsidence due to Fluid Withdrawal

Publisher : Elsevier
Page : 519 pages
File Size : 19,33 MB
Release : 1995-03-29
Category : Science
ISBN : 0080542093
Book Description
Subsidence of geologic surface structures due to withdrawal of fluids from aquifers and petroleum reservoirs is a phenomenon experienced throughout the world as the demand for water and hydrocarbons increases with increasing population growth. This book addresses the definition and theories of subsidence, and the influences of unique conditions on subsidence; it includes discussions of specific field cases and a basic mathematical model of reservoir compaction and accompanying loss of porosity and permeability. The book is designed as a reference for readers giving immediate access to the geological events that establish conditions for compaction, the mathematical theories of compaction and subsidence, and practical considerations of field case histories in various regions of the world.
