CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

The Proceedings volumes from the PELA-sponsored Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impact of Karst have become standard references on engineering geology in karst settings. These proceedings can be ordered from http://www.tandf.co.uk, except the first one which is out of print.
