The proceedings of the 30th International Geological Congress held in Beijing, China in August 1997. These two volumes focuses on geosciences and human survival, environment, natural hazards and global changes. They aim to present a view of contemporary geology.

This book deals with the different aspects of the symposia, ranging from, in the original order of the sessions, early history of the earth, continental accretion, coremantle differentiation, biological evolution, palaeoclimate, to interaction between the lithosphere and the hydro-atmo-biosphere.

This volume includes all aspects of environmental geology, i.e. the impact of different geological processes, the geological problems in large river development, trace elements and human health, geology of waste disposal, and environmental geology mapping.
