Approaches to Environmental Geology: A Colloquium and Workshop

The environmental geology program of the Bureau of Economic Geology is designed to develop applicable geologic data for both immediate and long-term needs. The case studies presented in Approaches to Environmental Geology represent completed or ongoing projects conducted in different parts of a diverse State. While common basic orientation has been assumed, specific approaches have been designed in each area. A goal of this colloquium is to relate the experience of an environmental geology program conducted as an organized research effort in the public sector.
