Mine Water Hydrogeology and Geochemistry

Mine Water Hydrogeology and Geochemistry

Hardcover: 408 pages

Product Description
This book is a collection of keynote reviews and detailed case-studies
covering the principal areas of active research and state-of-the-art
industrial practice in the field of mine water management. It addresses
both issues of water quantity (such as the impact of longwall mining on
the piezometry and hydraulic properties of overlying aquifers) and water
quality (spanning an array of sites from deep coal mines to open-pit
base metal mines), as well as a wealth of hybrid, integrated studies in
which hydrogeological and geochemical aspects are considered (and
managed) together. The papers presented in this book are intended for
practising geologists and engineers involved in the management of active
and abandoned mine sites all over the world. It is also of interest to
academic geoscientists and students with interests in low-temperature
aqueous geochemistry and the hydrogeology of complex, quasi-karstic
groundwater flow systems.

Product Description

Given the fundamental importance of and universal interest in whether
extraterrestrial life has developed or could eventually develop in our
solar system and beyond, it is vital that an examination of planetary
habitability goes beyond simple assumptions such as, "Where there is
water, there is life." This book has resulted from a workshop at the
International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland (5-9
September 2005) that brought together planetary geologists,
geophysicists, atmospheric scientists, and biologists to discuss the
multi-faceted problem of how the habitability of a planet co-evolves
with the geology of the surface and interior, the atmosphere, and the
magnetosphere.

Each of the six chapters has been written by authors with a range of
expertise so that each chapter is itself multi-disciplinary,
comprehensive, and accessible to scientists in all disciplines. These
chapters delve into what life needs to exist and ultimately to thrive,
the early environments of the young terrestrial planets, the role of
volatiles in habitability, currently habitable (but possibly not
inhabited) geologic environments, the connection between a planet's
inner workings and the habitability of its surface, and the effects on
planetary atmospheres of solar evolution and the presence or absence of a
magnetosphere.

This book serves as a useful reference for those who plan missions that
will hunt for biomarkers (especially on Mars), for biologists and
geoscientists who seek a broader view of the story, and for researchers
and upper level students interested in an in-depth review of the
geologic evolution of terrestrial planets, from their cores to their
magnetospheres, and how that evolution shapes the habitability of the
planetary surface.
