Interest in groundwater and other subsurface fluids has increased in recent years. Hydrogeologists and geologists are now actively exploring the role of subsurface fluids in such fundamental geologic processes as crustal heat transfer, hydrocarbon migration, earthquakes, diagenesis, and metamorphism. Groundwater in Geologic Processes first develops the basic theory of groundwater motion, solute transport, and heat transport. The second section applies flow and transport theory in a generalized geologic context, and focuses on particular geologic processes and environments. The systematic presentation of theory and application make this book ideal for graduate-level hydrogeologists and geologists with background calculus and introductory chemistry. It will also be an invaluable reference for professionals in the field.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A welcome paperback edition of this much-heralded look at how water moves about inside the Earth, triggering earthquakes, forming ore deposits and infusing geothermal fields." New Scientist
"Groundwater in Geologic Processes should be of interest to a wide, interdisciplinary audience because it reaches well beyond the standard assumptions of isothermal and nondeforming mediums common to most hydrogeologic investigations....Thirty-three pages of references from many scientific disciplines represent a resource in itself. As a special bonus, the book is well written and well illustrated." GSA Today
"...a valuable and overdue addition to the library of any earth scientist dealing with fluid flow, mass transport and heat transfer in geological media...an extremely useful book for anyone involved in the study of flow and transport processes in the Earth's upper crust, be it at the fundamental research level, at the application level, at the exploration level in the search for energy and mineral resources, or in the prevention of geological hazards." Tectonophysics
"This intelligent and highly readable book is a much-needed addition to the geological literature, presenting in an approachable form the basic theory and effects of fluid flow in porous rocks....It will appeal to a broad section of the geological community because the authors have purposefully set out to cross the apparent cultural divide between low-temperature and high-temperature flow...unreservedly recommend[ed]." Geological Magazine
"The authors have done a commendable job in their extensive and comprehensive survey of others' works...will serve not only as a textbook for graduate students, but also as a valuable interdisciplinary reference to practitioners and researchers in earth sciences and engineering...The publisher should be congratulated for bringing this in a reasonably priced paperback form." Applied Mechanics Review
"...provides an excellent quantitative primer on fluid-rock interactions within the Earth's crust....Ingebritsen and Sanford are well suited as coauthors for this book....Unlike some authors of other hydrogeologic texts, it is clear that these authors have a firm grasp of the material they present. The book is a good read at a good price." EOS
"...a high level text that doesn't skimp on complex details but still is descriptive, interesting, and easy to follow."
"Principally the book is designed as a teaching text for graduate students in hydrogeology anf geology, however many other specialists in the field of Earth sciences, especially economic geologists, will benefit from it." Pure appl. geophys

Don't waste your money on this book (like I did),
By Bob Rothman "Rocks" (Falmouth, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Groundwater in Geologic Processes (Paperback)
If one wants a treatment of the impact of groundwater on geologic processes this is certainty NOT the book for it. The author mentions a subject, acknowledges that it exist and that people have written about it and that's about it. There is a sense of rambling about the book, equations for groundwater flow are given a few paragraphs, dropped and another subject entered into and given a few more paragraphs. Detailed explanations and practical examples are non-existent. It would have been nice if a quantitative example of groundwater effecting a geologic process could be provided, but none was. Nor are there even explanations of how groundwater effecting this on that process. Indeed this book must qualify as largely worthless for either a student, professional or hobbyist. For a better discussion of the impact of groundwater on geologic processes any geomorphology, physical geography or hydrogeology book would be better than this. I recommend Fetter's Applied Hydrogeology, Ritter' Process Geomorphology and Strahler's Physical Geography.

This review is from: Groundwater in Geologic Processes (Paperback)
There is no basic knowledge here, no clear explanations for terms, theories or equations, but there are some equations or conclusions here which are extremely difficult to understand, and sometimes are almost seemingly wrong (actually there is error after I confirm it with the teacher). If you really want to understand what the writer talks about, you need to read a dozen of extra books and spend plenty of extra time. However, if you are a relevant professor or an expert, you might love this book.
