This volume presents a collection of papers on techniques andcase studies in land surface evaluation for engineering practicewritten by specialist practitioners in the field. The volumearose out of deliberations by the Second Working Party on LandSurface Evaluation set up by the Engineering Group of the GeologicalSociety in January 1997 and chaired by Dr. J. S. Griffiths.The book examples of cost-effective methods for collecting landsurface and near surface data prior to carrying further detailedground investigations of engineering geologist, geotechnicalengineers, geomorphologist and planners who have the responsibilityfor planning a designing investigations of potential sites ofdevelopment.
