The conference included discussion on a diverse range of geosciences, including military history, military geology, teaching geology from a military prospective, geological influence on the battlefield, and environmental and cultural issues related to management of military lands. Geology and geography have played a significant role in military history, from providing the stone for primitive tools and weapons, to the utilization of terrain in offensive and defensive strategies. Specific to this volume, deserts comprise nearly a third of the Earth's surface and have been the site of numerous battles where the dust, heat, and a lack of food and water have provided challenges to military leaders and warriors. This book examines the role of deserts in past and modern warfare, the problems and challenges in managing military lands in desert regions, and how desert environmental conditions can impact military equipment and personnel. This proceedings volume should be of interest to scholars, professionals, and those interested in military history, warfare, geology, geography, cultural resources, general science, and military operations. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 16, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Military geography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85085201 650 0 Military geology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85085202 650 0 Desert warfare.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85037153 650 7 Military geography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021181 650 7 Military geology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021187 650 7 Desert warfare.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/891192 650 7 Economic geology.|2bicssc 650 7 Palaeontology.|2bicssc 650 7 Nuclear power & engineering.|2bicssc 650 7 Environmental management.|2bicssc 650 7 Geographical information systems (GIS) & remote sensing. |2bicssc 650 7 Historical geology.|2bicssc 650 7 HISTORY|xMilitary|xOther.|2bisacsh 650 7 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING|xMilitary Science.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 McDonald, Eric V.|q(Eric Von),|d1958-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no97047862|eeditor. 700 1 Bullard, Thomas,|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrinted edition:|z9781493934270 830 0 Advances in military geosciences.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2019002045 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1168415|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
