Acknowledgements The authors wish to thank Bob Blauvelt, CPG-6508, for his critical review of the manuscript.


Savanna Sampson is a graduating Civil Engineering stu- dent the Tandon Engineering School at New York University. Her large interest in alternative and renewable energy has inspired her to become a civil engineer and to promote sus- tainable energy practices. Post-graduation she will be starting her career in the construction industry in the New York City Metro Area.


Carli Finamore is a current senior at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. With a great interest in construction and project teams, she is excited to start her career in New York City upon receiving her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Civil Engineering in May of 2016.


Colby Bennardo is graduating from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering in spring of 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. He plans on using his experience with BIM modeling software to supplement his full-time work in construction management.

The Reading Geologist-Book Reviews James A. Jacobs, CPG-7760


There are important books full of equations and theory which are housed in university libraries, and there are other practical books which working professionals actively rely on as refer- ence material. The books reviewed in this installment of The Reading Geologist fit into the second category and can be identified in a professional’s library as the ones with the yellow sticky notes, the handwritten comments in the page columns and the dog-eared pages. The books reviewed in this column can be used for training of new staff, as techni- cal manuals for professionals wanting to update their knowledge, or for those wanting some case studies for specific field tasks or projects. The first three books were published within the past year or two. The fourth was published in 2011, but is worthy of review based on the significantly greater attention focused by regulatory agencies in recent years regarding erosion and sediment control issues.


understand language and the wide range of actual cases or hypothetical case stud- ies really helps to explain the original forensic challenge, the limitations of the data, and the interpretations.


Environmental Forensics Fundamentals, A Practical Guide, by Ioana G. Petrisor


Rarely does one find a summary and compilation of forensic geochemistry techniques as useful and practical as this volume. Dr. Ioana G. Petrisor docu- ments the current biochemistry meth- ods of forensic analysis and provides a wealth of case examples to demonstrate the methods. It is written in easy-to-

Going through the tools of the modern scientific expert, the author is a Ph.D. biochemist by training and she specializ- es in environmental forensics and litiga- tion support. She is also well known as an instructor with the AEHS (Association for Environmental Health and Sciences) Foundation and EOS (Environmental, Outreach, and Stewardship) Alliance. Dr. Petrisor teaches both online and in-class environmental forensic courses.


Unlike many geochemistry books on the market, Environmental Forensics Fundamentals: A Practical Guide is writ- ten primarily for environmental profes- sionals (and litigators) in the field, and it could be used to spice up a college or university environmental geochemistry course as well. Environmental forensic science related to contaminant history helps to unravel the complex industrial
