New tools are provided to handle the accelerated release of new geoenvironmental data as it becomes available to the scientific community. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe intended wide ranging audience of this ambitious book includes experienced professionals, embracing practicing geotechnical and environmental engineers, graduate students and scientists from outside the geoenvironmental field. It confronts the multiple complex processes associated with today’s environmental problems. The text traces the current theories of geoenvironmental engineering, supporting them with extensive references to the contemporary literature. The text lists case studies and the tools involved which will aid the mature scientist and novitiate to navigate the rapidly developing field. The authors’ major goals are for the readers to remove the traditional boundaries between the related science and engineering disciplines. This book will expand the knowledge base and the professional practice of scientists and engineers working in the environmental field. This book is a great addition to our understanding of geoenvironmental engineering.\" \u003cb\u003e--Dr. Christopher Kendall, University of South Carolina\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This monograph provides a comprehensive and thoughtful overview of environmental processes involved in the interactions between water and soil, and their contamination.

Soil characteristics relevant to remedial techniques are explored, providing foundations for the correct process selection. Built upon the authors' extensive experience in research and practice, the book updates and expands the content to include current processes and pollutants. The book discusses propagation of soil pollution and soil characteristics relevant to remedial techniques. Practicing geotechnical and environmental engineers can apply the theory and case studies in the book directly to current projects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book first discusses the stages of economic development and their connections to the sustainability of the environment. Subsequent chapters cover waste and its management, soil systems, soil-water and soil-pollutant interactions, subsurface transport of pollutants, role of groundwater, nano-, micro- and biologic pollutants, soil characteristics that impact pollution diffusion, and potential remediation processes like mechanical, electric, magnetic, hydraulic and dielectric permittivity of soils. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
