Reviews in Engineering Geology, volume 4
During the "great decade" of siting and construction of nuclear power plants that ended in 1975, the nuclear industry mustered the largest geologic task force in this country's history, resulting in rapid advances in geologic technologies. Many of the advances are discussed in this volume, a major contribution to engineering geology. Subjects treated are the regulatory, siting, and licensing processes; seismicity of the central and western U.S., with a consumer's guide to instrumental methods for determination of hypocenters; and techniques, such as remote-sensing, microfacies analysis, dating techniques in faults, trenching as an exploratory method, borehole geophysics, and ground-water studies. Includes a useful glossary.[ Table of Contents ]
