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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the development of three-dimensional stack-unit mapping of the glaciated portions of Illinois, discussing techniques for preparing and presenting these maps, their many uses, limitations to the method, and the potential for further development. The author traces the evolution of these mapping techniques and notes that stack-unit maps show the geologic framework of an area in three dimensions, depicting not only the areal distribution of geologic deposits and formations, but also their vertical distribution from the ground surface to a designated depth. The value of such a map is that it includes, in a convenient, immediately comprehensible format, information on the area, depth, and thickness of all geologic materials significant for many specific uses. This book will interest specialists in the field, students, researchers, and policymakers interested in resource development and environmental issues. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780365687771_0
