These difficult materials also include some of the world's most  fertile agricultural soils, fostering dense human populations which  are therefore increasingly at risk. Despite an impressive literature  on the engineering aspects of collapsing soils, these materials are  coming under increasing scrutiny by scientists in other fields. This  is most evidently the case with soil scientists, stratigraphers and  sedimentologists. Past earth surface conditions have a direct  influence on the detailed behaviour of collapsible soils: as a  complement, these materials also provide detailed data on changing  global climates. The selected papers presented here highlight the  common ground between three scientific groups with a vested interest  in a better understanding of collapsible soils. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401040471\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401040471\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0097-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 413\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343356686476,"sku":"9789401040471","price":297.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401040471_089b1e75-252f-4595-8c4d-62dc19efea8e.jpg?v=1755053382","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401040471","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
