Abstract
How did the geology and geomorphology of a site become the way it is today? And what are the practical engineering geological applications of that knowledge to civil engineering and environmental projects? The answer is much more than a description of the materials logged in an excavation or a borehole, or a description of a site's geological history. It requires a mental time machine that enables us to investigate and understand the conditions, processes and materials that occur over geological time and recently (including human-induced, anthropogenic impacts).In this paper, by means of some short case study examples, I explore and describe how the application of a time machine approach is an essential tool for engineering geologists, both in the field and back at their desks.
期刊介绍：
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology is owned by the Geological Society of London and published by the Geological Society Publishing House.
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology & Hydrogeology (QJEGH) is an established peer reviewed international journal featuring papers on geology as applied to civil engineering mining practice and water resources. Papers are invited from, and about, all areas of the world on engineering geology and hydrogeology topics. This includes but is not limited to: applied geophysics, engineering geomorphology, environmental geology, hydrogeology, groundwater quality, ground source heat, contaminated land, waste management, land use planning, geotechnics, rock mechanics, geomaterials and geological hazards.
The journal publishes the prestigious Glossop and Ineson lectures, research papers, case studies, review articles, technical notes, photographic features, thematic sets, discussion papers, editorial opinion and book reviews.
