This book includes a careful selection of significant contributions from international experts that were presented at the 6th AIGA Conference "Applied Geology: Approaches to Future Resource Management" that was held in the Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy, from 27 - 29 June 2018. The following 7 areas are the main themes covered in this volume:
· Applied Geology
· Hydrogeology
· Geological Exploration (underground)
· Slope Instability,· Natural Hazards, Risk Assessment and Management,
· Geo-resources and Sustainable Development
· Application of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
The authors, from academia, research and industry present the latest state of the practice, new technologies, innovative methods and sustainable management in the field of Applied and Environmental Geology.
This carefully edited work will be of value to academia, professionals, scientists and decision makers.
Marina De Maio was a Professor of applied geology and GIS in the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineeringat at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. She obtained her master's degree in Geology from University of Catania in 1993 and completed her Ph.D. in Engineering Geology from the Politecnico di Torino in 1998. She was a representative of the Politecnico di Torino in the "European Technical and Scientific Committee - ETSC", European Water Association - EWA and Senior Consultant for UNESCO. She has published several articles as author and co-author in various reputed journals. Her research activity focused mainly on geological risks assessment, aquifer vulnerability, pollution risk, quantifying groundwater resources, water resources management and GIS. She has developed some part of the "SINTACS" method to evaluate aquifer venerability during her research work. She has completed several International and National research projects and she served as a reviewer for many international and national journals. Professor De Maio passed away shortly before the manuscript of this book was completed. Ashwani Kumar Tiwari is a researcher in the field of hydro-geochemistry, pollution of water resources by geogenic and anthropogenic activities, groundwater-seawater interaction, human health risk, aquifer vulnerability and water resources management and GIS at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Dr. Tiwari has done M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Environmental Science and completed his Ph.D. degree in hydro-geochemistry and GIS from Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, India in 2016. He was awarded Erasmus Mundus and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Scholarships. Dr. Tiwari has travelled Canada, Chile, Malta, Germany, Estonia, Bulgaria and Finland in academic related pursuits. He has published many research articles in various reputed international and national journals and his works on respective fields are very well appreciated by the many workers across the world. He has served as a reviewer for many international journals.
