By (author): Kieran D. O'Hara

Earth Resources and Environmental Impacts uses everyday examples and current issues to help readers understand how mineral, water and energy resources and the impacts of their use and extraction affect their daily lives. A historical perspective makes the material in this text fascinating by showing readers that the earths resources have always been fundamental to society, even as far back as the Stone Age. Environmental impacts and sustainable use of energy and mineral resources are emphasized. With the increase of public interest surrounding environmental impacts, readers will appreciate the knowledge gained from this text. See more

About Kieran D. O'Hara

Kieran O'Hara's research interests are in the areas of structural geology and geochemistry. Over the past several years research has focused on frictional heating processes during earthquakes and the effects it has on the rock record. This work centers on the geochemical and structural study of pseudotachylytes (frictional melts) and also on the effect of frictional heating on coal. A novel technique (O'Hara 2004) has been developed using vitrinite reflectance in coal to estimate the paleo-stress on ancient seismogenic faults. A second area of interest is in ductile shear zones especially the geochemical and finite strain changes in continental mylonite zones in the northern and southern Appalachians. Fluid inclusion research in tectonically deformed terranes is also a topic of current research (O'Hara and Becker 2004).
