Emphasizing the importance of earth science in forensic analyses, this book traces the origins of soil found on a body, discovering diatoms in a victim's lungs that indicate immersion in water, and analyzing dirt for evidence of human contact. It explains procedures particular to criminalistics analysis.

Offers engineers information on designing geomembranes to control expansive soils in a range of construction and environmental applications. Written by an international expert in the field, this book explains when and where geomembranes can be used effectively, and discusses expansive soiled conditions and problems, as well as control solutions.

Contains articles from a workshop on "Modelling water and nutrient dynamics in crop-soil systems". This book provides data sets from lysimeters and experimental fields of multiyear crop rotations. It describes the applications of 18 different modelling approaches describing soil-crop-atmosphere interactions for water, nitrogen and carbon dynamics.

Examining the core principles of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, this text also covers the design methodology of shallow and deep foundations, as well as ground improvement techniques, such as reinforced earth and geotextiles.

A new approach to assessment of the stress-strain condition of foundation and earth structures is presented which permits limit-state computations. The book includes a discussion of soil plasticity and dynamic consolidation.

Includes proceedings that are a continuation of the series of International Conferences in Germany entitled 'Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils.'

This important book explores the need for the immediate conservation of the world's soil resources.

Contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Air, Water and Soil Quality Modelling for Risk and Impact Assessment. The aim of the workshop was to further joint environmental compartment modelling and applications of control theory to environmental management.

Summarizes knowledge on aquatic and terrestrial environmental quality standards and places it in a wider socioeconomic and regulatory context. This book explains how to derive environmental standards that are defensible from a scientific and socioeconomic perspective.

Nuclear Techniques in Soil-Plant Studies For Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Preservation

Contributes to the knowledge on soil pollution and remediation. This book focuses on critical assessment of the used analyses and methods for study effects in combined chemical pollution (organic pollutants and pesticides, metals) on soil biota and fertility; and on evaluation of specific aspects of the risk assessment.
