The study of the Earth and the environment requires an understanding of the physical processes within and at the surface of the Earth. This book will allow the

Continuum mechanics underlies many geological and geophysical phenomena, from earthquakes and faults to the fluid dynamics of the Earth. This interdisciplinary

Introduces the fundamental principles of applied Earth science needed for engineering practice, with case studies, exercises, and online solutions.

Our understanding of earthquakes and faulting processes has developed significantly since publication of the successful first edition of this book in 1990. This

Environmental Fluid Mechanics provides comprehensive coverage of a combination of basic fluid principles and their application in a number of different situatio
