Recent discoveries in marine geology, geochemistry, geophysics and planetary geology are systematically woven into discussions of traditional topics such as geomorphology, sedimentation, petrology, volcanism and structural geology. The book describes the methods and techniques employed by geologists in the field, relating geologic subjects to environmental problems.
