The present proceedings are numbered Vols. 3 and 4 because they form an integral part of the entire series. It contains three overview papers on laboratory testing, in-situ testing, and characterisation of natural soil variability. Less well documented soil types such as organic clays and peats, loess, volcanic soils, residual soils, methane hydrate soils, and recent sediments are covered by fifteen papers. The remaining papers cover: alluvial and marine clays (6), highly fissured clays (1), boulder clay (1), silts (1), and natural soil variability (4). Following the tradition of the first workshop, authors were invited under consultation with the advisory committee chaired by Dr David Hight. The length and quality of the papers speak volumes on the tremendous dedication and efforts invested by all the invited authors. It is worth reiterating that the major part of the credit for this entire series belongs to the authors.
