The volume includes items presented at a meeting of the Geological Societys Environmental & Industrial Geophysics and Hydrogeological groups in 2003, and others submitted subsequently. In a lengthy, and comprehensive, introductory article the editors stress the importance of understanding geological factors, which they consider has been inadequate, and of the use of appropriate investigative techniques and models, including those used in the hydrocarbon industry. These perceived deficiencies are addressed in many of the remaining 18 articles on studies of Permian to Mid Triassic continental sandstones of aeolian and fluvial origin that are organized under the headings of Flow, Unsaturated Flow, and Pollutant Movement.
Flow: The influence of geological factors on flow is emphasized in nine studies that cover . . . [Full Text of this Article]
