Preface
The XIII IAEG Congress and 61st AEG Annual Meeting, San Francisco, USA, chose
Engineering Geology for a Sustainable World as the theme for 2018. Based on the topical
symposia and technical sessions, the proceedings are organized into six volumes and
sub-categories as follows:
Volume 1: Slope Stability: Case Histories, Landslide Mapping, Emerging Technologies
Volume 2: Geotechnical and Environmental Site Characterization
Volume 3: Mining, Aggregates, Karst
Volume 4: Dams, Tunnels, Groundwater Resources, Climate Change
Volume 5: Geologic Hazards: Earthquakes, Land Subsidence, Coastal Hazards, and
Emergency Response
Volume6:AdvancesinEngineeringGeology:Education,SoilandRockProperties,Modeling
Participants of this joint meeting had the option to submit either a full paper or only an
abstract. The editors would like to thank the authors for their valuable contributions. One
hundred eighty-six full papers were submitted for review, and 153 papers successfully com-
pleted the process. Each paper submitted for the Proceedings was peer-reviewed by two
reviewers. Authors revised their papers in accordance with reviewers’ comments. The
reviewers, from across the globe, included professional experts as well as authors of other
papers. The editors greatly appreciate the help provided by the reviewers. A list of reviewers
follows.
The editors are also very grateful to Karen Smith and Paisley Cato for their assistance
throughout the review process.
