The 2006 second edition of this well received and widely adopted textbook has been extensively revised to provide a more comprehensive treatment of hydromechanics (the coupling of groundwater flow and deformation), to incorporate findings from the substantial body of research published since the first edition, and to include three new chapters on compaction and diagenesis, metamorphism, and subsea hydrogeology. The opening section develops basic theory of groundwater motion, fluid-solid mechanical interaction, solute transport, and heat transport. The second section applies flow, hydromechanics, and transport theory in a generalized geologic context, and focuses on particular geologic processes and environments. A systematic presentation of theory and application coupled with problem sets to conclude each chapter make this text ideal for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate-level hydrogeologists and geologists. It also serves as an invaluable reference for professionals in the field.

- The only hydrogeology text where geology is the primary focus, therefore it is particularly suitable for geoscience students
- Brief problem sets at the end of each chapter, with solutions available online to lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521603218
Awards
- The 1st edition of this book was cited for the "John Hem Excellence in Science and Engineering Award" from the National Groundwater Association (2000) and the O. E. Meinzer Award from the Geological Society of America (2003).
Reviews & endorsements
"...serves as a good primer on important concepts in groundwater flow and a broad review of their applications to specific g ecologic problems. The authors develop a theoretical foundation before pulling together phenomena according to the contexts of economic geology, formation processes, tectonics, and submarine hydrogeology. In the process, the authors provide a large window into a significant amount and history of research. This can be strongly appreciated by graduate students and senior researchers, and correspondingly the work is an excellent introduction to the supplement to understanding the role of fluids in geologic processes in the subsurface." - Robert Viesca, Pageoph
See more reviews"...splendid revision of a fine First Edition. There are few readers of this Journal who cannot profit greatly from this book." - Richard E. Jackson, Environmental and Engineering Geoscience
I think the authors have done an exceptional job of creating a book that shows that groundwater is much more than well hydraulics in the near surface. Ingebritsen, Sanford, and Neuzil have ably managed to cover an incredible range of topics, spanning enormous spatial and temporal scales, yet haven’t gotten lost in minute details. This book will serve as a ‘gate key’ to the myriad of geological phenomena linked to, and by, groundwater flow. I highly recommend the 2nd edition of Groundwater in Geologic Processes to any hydrogeologist who wants to learn more about groundwater in the Earth’s crust." - Benjamin J . Rostron, Geofluids
