English-Spanish and Spanish-English Glossary of Geoscience Terms

With the continuing growth of commerce between Spanish and English speaking countries, it is increasingly important to have a clear and precise understanding of what is being said in the technical literature as well as in technical presentations and day-to-day transactions. This glossary offers approximately 20,000 English and Spanish translations of industrial terms from geology (petroleum, mining and remote, sensing), geography and other geotechnical fields. The book should meet the needs of geophysicists, hydrologists and environmental engineers who require an accurate translation tool to implement technology transfer between North America and Latin America countries. In addition, businesses and banking terms and phrases used in annual reports, proposals, finance, and commodities markets are included so that those in the business community can take advantage of this reference. Finally, common business and science terms, such as legal, climatic, geographic, computer terminology, and units of measure are included for completeness.
