Environmental geomechanics is one of the most recent and dynamically evolving thrusts in geo- mechanics with a great deal of conceptual novelty and interdisciplinary involvement. This book covers a broad class of problems where deforming geomaterials are involved, usually coupled with fluid flow and transport of some substance. It discusses a range of topics that are of increasing importance in engineering practice: natural hazards, pollution, and environmental protection through good practice.
