"… a compendium of many years of valuable information neatly packaged in one place. The book is written so that a non-technical person can read and understand the concepts of marine geotechnology. … The authors did their homework and have put forth a lot of good and practical information…The topics seem to cover just about everything engineering wise about the seafloor."
—Kendra S. Adams, President, Blue Rock Labs, Inc, USA.
"… provides practical and useful descriptions of marine geology, marine geoscientific exploration techniques and marine geotechnical engineering in one text. … the primary author has been a long-time contributor in research, practice, chairing symposia and development of standards. His experience and expertise are well known worldwide."
—Ron Ebelhar, Terracon, Olathe, Kansas, USA
"… the authors have done an excellent job… a great reference and a must read for anyone planning an offshore site investigation or involved in the design of structures to be built offshore."
—Kenneth Bell, Bechtel Infrastructure, USA
"Chaney (emer., environmental resources engineering, Humboldt State Univ.) and Almagor, (emer., senior geologist, Geological Survey of Israel) provide a wealth of information on seafloor environment, science, and engineering in this 11-chapter volume. (…) The authors write carefully and well. Proper use of tables and graphs, representative schematics, and a nice flow of text make reading very easy, enabling readers to quickly navigate through the book. It is written from a practical point of view that relies mainly on site measurements and experimental data (tables and charts) and therefore has few mathematical expressions. Though the presented material is based mostly on research and publications in the 1980s, it is still a valuable resource that covers most of the needed basics for researchers and engineers with an interest in offshore engineering."
