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.

Review

'This book is a valuable and overdue addition to the library of any earth scientist dealing with fluid flow, mass transport and heat transfer in geological media ... Groundwater in Geologic Processes is an extremely useful book for anyone involved in the study of flow and transport processes in the Earth's upper crust.' Stefan Bachu, Tectonophysics

'I unreservedly recommend this book as a teaching and reference text for everyone working on aqueous fluid-bearing environments in the Earth.' Marian Holness, Geological Magazine

'A welcome paperback edition of this much-heralded look at how water moves about inside the Earth ...'. New Scientist

'... an excellent text for a graduate course or seminar in geology or hydrogeology ... The book is a good read at a good price.' Mark Pearson, EOS: Transactions, American Geophysical Union
