Applied Geology is a multidisciplinary subject that interacts with other disciplines, such as mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, hydrogeology, seismic engineering, rock engineering, soil mechanics, geophysics, remote sensing (RS-GIS-GPS), environmental geology, etc. The science of geology, generally regarded as having originated in the vague speculations of the cosmogonists hardly two centuries ago, has today become of great practical utility. During the past decade all geologic investigations have shown a marked tendency toward material problems, which is in contrast with the previous decade, when the interests of pure science were much more strongly emphasized. Dams are engineering structures constructed for different purposes. They are of different sizes, shapes and types. In all cases, many essential studies should be carried out before deciding the location, type and size of the dam. Quantum tunnelling or tunneling (US) is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a wavefunction can propagate through a potential barrier. Geology is a multidisciplinary field that integrates a variety of other sciences including but not limited to: physics, chemistry, biology, math, astronomy, statistics, and more! Geologists use evidence from Earth and other planetary bodies to explore the natural world and use the information they gain to better understand the past, present, and future. This book covers all aspects of Applied Geology and includes a plethora of examples and case studies relevant to the Indian context for better understanding of the geological challenges faced by engineers.
