Purpose of Adaptation: Environmental Geology by Lindsay Iredale adapted Physical Geology – H5P Edition by Karla Panchuck, as a method for beginning the textbook writing process with an existing chapter framework to aid in learning the internal workings of the Pressbooks system and for easy adoption (and adaptation) of the abundance of excellent figures and H5P content. Unless specifically stated otherwise, as is the case for a single introductory chapter that carries different authors, beyond this framework all written chapter content has been reordered, reworked, or added as new material to fit an environmental geology focus.
