EAS213: GEOLOGY FOR ENGINEERS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS Measuring stream depth and flow rate

The focus of EAS213 is on applied aspects of earth science, visible or regional scale features, and short-term processes

APPLICATIONS for Engineers and Earth Scientists: 1) surveying and mapping of the surface of the earth 2) assessing rock and mineral resources 3) analyzing earthquake patterns, risk, building codes, tsunamis 4) assessing volcanic risk 5) managing fresh water resources 6) evaluating human impacts on environment due to development, mining, combustion of fossil fuels, air and water pollution

FEATURES: from microscopic to global size, but emphasizing hand specimen to regional scales (1cm to 100 km)

PROCESSES need to be measurable or observable over periods of seconds to thousands of years

Satellite data analyzed to produce a vegetation map

Topographic map showing contours of equal elevation in meters. Field elevation locations (purple dots) were interpolated using the linear spline method.

Mapping of Faults: Catskills

Mineral Resources The element Carbon produces the softest mineral (graphite) or the hardest mineral (diamond) depending on its crystal structure.
