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.

第21届Glossop讲座：工程地质学与地球科学时间机器

一个遗址的地质和地貌是如何变成今天的样子的？这些知识在土木工程和环境项目中的实际工程地质应用是什么？答案远不止是对挖掘或钻孔中记录的材料的描述，或者对遗址地质历史的描述。它需要一台心理时间机器，使我们能够调查和理解地质时期和最近发生的条件、过程和材料（包括人类引起的、人为的影响）。在本文中，通过一些简短的案例研究例子，我探索和描述了时间机器方法的应用是如何成为工程地质学家的重要工具，无论是在球场上还是在他们的办公桌前。

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.
