This book is a compilation of 127 short articles presented at the 5th International Conference on Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology (UMH V) in Freiberg, Germany, in September 2008. The UMH V was the most recent of UMH conferences that have been hosted by the Institute of Geology, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, at roughly three-year intervals since 1995. The Proceedings for the four earlier conferences are also available. A diskette that contains the book in pdf format and the software Adobe Reader is included with the book.

The articles compiled in Uranium, Mining and Hydrogeology range in length from single-page abstracts to 16-page papers, and they are grouped into eight categories as presented at the conference sessions: plenary (6 papers), uranium mining (19 papers), phosphate mining (2 papers), mine closure and remediation processes (34 papers), uranium in groundwater and in bedrock (23 papers), biogeochemistry of uranium (14 papers), environmental behavior (19 papers), and modeling (10 papers). The division of the papers into these categories is somewhat arbitrary, because the main themes of the conference and the subjects of almost all the papers are the environmental impacts of uranium mining and milling on ground- and surface-water resources, and the . . .
