The strategy and methods to characterize complex geologic settings are readily available. The strategy utilizes readily available technology, basic science and good, old-fashioned common sense resulting in a solid understanding of geologic and even karst or pseudokarst conditions. We provide an introduction to many off-the-shelf methods available for site characterization as well as examples of their application throughout the book. The purpose of a geologic site characterization is to understand the 3-dimensional geologic framework, along with the engineering and hydrologic properties of a site including any man-made impacts.  A well-done site characterization is the cornerstone of all geotechnical, groundwater and environmental projects.  The geologic conditions, particularly karst conditions, can significantly impact a site including its structural stability, groundwater pathways and potential for rapid transport or traps for contaminants. Once we have adequately characterized the geologic conditions can we carry our remediation, design and construction, model flow, and make risk assessments that are accurate and reliable. 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aGeology. 615 14$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aGeology. 676 $a550 700 $aBenson$b Richard C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061737 702 $aYuhr$b Lynn B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254101303321 996 $aSite Characterization in Karst and Pseudokarst Terraines$92519935 997 $aUNINA
