This volume comprises selected papers of the international symposium held in Sio Paulo, 1986. The papers deal with a range of topics from quaternary vertebrate palaeontology in Argentina and biostratigraphy of uppermost Cenozoic in the Pampean area to taxonomy, palaeoecology and palaeoenvironments.

This book is an outcome of the symposium on agricultural water management in Netherlands and discusses the methods that leads to cost effective but environmentally acceptable techniques. The book covers following topics: drainage and reclamation of soil and effect of drainage on agriculture.

This book focuses on the problems of the Quaternary in South America and Antarctic Peninsula, with a strong emphasis in the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic approach. It is based on contributions presented at the South American Regional Meeting held in Neuquen, Argentina.

The series comprises selected translations of Russian geotechnical literature, and this is a translation of a 1989 second edition reference. Coverage includes laws governing expansion and contraction of argillaceous soils.

Proceedings of a conference held in Zurich, Oct. 1985.

This work covers frequently used non-destructive testing methods and introduces innovative ideas in the field. The title also focuses on visual and optical inspection, acoustic emission and ultrasonics.

This volume contains a range of topics from quaternary vertebrate palaeontology in Argentina and biostratigraphy of uppermost Cenozoic in the Pampas. It determines the ice-rafted lithoclasts by the observation on thin slides, the latter issued from the rock sustratum of the Antarctic continent.

Volume 1 of the Proceedings of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Institution of Engineers Australia with the main topic of Engineering for Calcareous Sediments held in 1988.

This volume represents the proceedings from a colloquium held in West Germany in 1980 on late and postglacial oscillations of glaciers. The main texts are in German (13), English (8) and French (5) but all have abstracts in the three languages and all the figure captions are similarly translated.

This work describes studies of pile footings widely applied in hydrotechnical engineering. Generic piles design techniques are discussed and the coupled load analysis of piles subject to vertical, lateral forces and moments.

The final report of the 1989 Finnish Work Group 9 of the INQUA on the Genesis and Lithology of Glacial Sediments entitled Glacigenic deposits as indicators of glacial movements and their use for indicator tracing in the search for ore deposits.

Proceedings of a symposium at the 1987 INQUA Congress, Ottawa, Aug. 1987. Contributions present the application of quaternary studies to land use planning and development.

This book presents the proceedings of the international symposium on geotechnical stability in surface mining in Calgary. The symposium deals with the full gamut of mine equipment development, selection and utilization.

This book is an outcome of the third conference on the use of computers in the coal industry in Morgantown. It presents valuable computer applications covering the most aspects of coal industry and covers following areas: mine management and economics; surface mining; coal preparation; and blasting.

This volume contains contributions reflecting the rapid advances in the design of new improved bitumen and hydraulic bound composites, the trends in the use of waste and recycled materials.

This book is an outcome of the twenty-sixth symposium on "Rock Mechanics: Research and Engineering Applications in Rock Masses" in U.S. It focuses on the problems associated with rock mass and many experiments and modeling techniques are being performed in this area.

Several aspects of interpretation of geophysical data applied to the study of tectonics, geodynamics, metamorphism and magmatism are discussed.

These collected essays reflect a range of issues central to social science research and environmental change in Europe. It analyses how environmental problems come to the fore, and makes special reference to the situation in Turkey.

The papers presented cover subjects including: data management; leakage detection and the management of leakage throughout water distribution networks; analysis, design or rehabilitation of distribution networks and more.

This volume is an outcome of the 11th IFIP WG7.5 working conference on Reliability and Optimization of Structural Systems in Canada. The conference focuses on structural reliability methods and applications and engineering risk analysis and decision-making.

This final volume of the proceedings of the International Conference on Water Resources Management in Arid Regions, March 2002, Kuwait, discusses major aspects of hydrology and water resources and includes papers on groundwater and water quality.

This text aims to be a driving force for an economically sound and sustainable development of developing countries. It looks at the provision of geothermal energy within the framework of sustainable energy development for power generation.

The chemical and electro-chemical properties of clays are the source of many undesired effects. These papers provide insight into this.

This proceedings volume showcases all aspects of the science and engineering of mine ventilation and health and safety, with special focus on the applied aspects of mine ventilation practice.

Papers cover: laboratory and in-situ testing; coupled effects and permeability; creep damage and dilatancy; constitutive modelling; crushed salt behaviour; numerical modelling; storage and disposal projects; mining applications; case studies and more.

These papers focus on mine and mill tillings and mine waste. The work also contains information on subjects related to: regulations, technical capacities and developments.
