<p><P>Using a hands-on, inquiry-based, problem-solving approach throughout, this laboratory manual for environmental geology features 27 exercises based on classic and recent case histories and current events topics. <P> Reviews basic geology and math necessary for the labs and lists Internet addresses for supplemental material related to each exercise. Focuses on geologic systems and human interaction with them &#8212; e.g., volcanos, earthquakes, landslides, snow avalanches, coastal hazards, river floods &#8212; with examples from throughout the United States. Discusses water and soil pollution &#8212; e.g., surface-water and ground-water quality, processes, and pollution &#8212; with numerous examples from throughout the United States. Illustrates the role that the geosciences play in our life-support system &#8212; e.g., groundwater overdraft and saltwater intrusion, energy types, conversions, uses, and options; waste management vs. waste deposit, and total energy and resource flow within a system. Calls for application of basic geological concepts and techniques to regional land-use planning. Considers future trends and global change. <P> For those interested in environmental
