This book is designed for scientists and engineers who want practical information to plan, manage, write, and review geologic and hydrologic projects and reports. It provides step-by-step methods to prepare more timely, readable, and technically accurate reports. Detailed guidelines are provided to prepare the different subj ects included in this book. Source references, project proposals, and checklists are included to assist authors. The use of the techniques described in this book will result in less time spent in report writ ing, editing, rewriting, and review, which will save time and money. This book is the result of nearly 50 years of experience in program and project development in the field of hydrogeology.
Field Methods for Geologists and Hydrogeologists is a culmination of almost 50 years of experience by the main authors, LaMoreaux and Assaad, who closely collaborated with various organizations and projects globally, drawing from a wide range of professionals’ academic backgrounds and expertise.
In the days before sand grain charts, color charts, the American Geological Institute guidebook, and even textbooks in hydrogeology, it was often necessary to improvise and develop organizational structure charts, training programs, and even standardization by using paint chips for color charts and manufacturing with sieve analysis equipment comparative material sets for sand size and angularity.
