Technological advancement in mining. - - 6. Mining and its impact on environment. - - 7. Coal use and the environment. - - 8. Oil well, ecology and environment. - - 9. Deforestation in mining.
Summary: "Environmental geology, like hydrogeology, is an applied seminee concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems created by man. Its multidisciplinary field that is closely related to engineering geology and, to a lesser extent, to environmental geography, Each of these fields involves the study of the interaction of humans with the geologie environment, including the biosphere, the lithosphere, the hydrosphees and to some extent the atmosphere. In other words, environmental geology is the application of geological information to solve conflicts, minimizing possible adverse environmental degradation or maximizing possible advantageous conditions resulting from the use of natural and modified environment. With an increasing world population and industrialization, the natural environment and resources are under high strain which puts them at the forefront of world issues. Environmental geology is on the rise with these issues as solutions are found by utilizing it." -- Provided by publisher.
