Three-Dimensional Geologic Mapping for Environmental Studies in Illinois (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Unlock three-dimensional geology for practical planning and environmental insight. This book presents stack-unit mapping as a concrete method to show how geologic materials extend from the surface down to a chosen depth, making it easier to interpret resources, land use, and environmental conditions.

The material explains how to build and use three-dimensional maps that integrate surface and subsurface units. It covers how stack-unit maps support interpretive maps for waste disposal, construction, groundwater studies, and resource planning, with practical guidance on depth limits, conventions, and techniques for presenting complex geology in a clear format.

• How stack-unit maps visualize the vertical sequence of geologic units from surface to a defined depth


• Ways to combine rock- and soil-stratigraphic information for interpretive mapping


• Practical conventions for depicting continuity, thickness, and buried soils on maps


• Step-by-step guidance on collecting data, creating cross sections, and assembling a stack-unit map

Ideal for readers involved in environmental planning, geological surveying, or site assessments who need a structured method to map near-surface geology and its implications for land use and resources.
