Total Geological History: a web-based modelling approach to the anticipation, observation and understanding of site conditions

The concern is with the effective use of computers to assist site investigation where subsurface conditions must be predicted. It deals with qualitative rather than quantitative aspects of investigation, utilising the numerous case histories which suggest that failure to anticipate leads to failure to observe and understand. Following (2000) it is argued that the geological model is the key to predicting subsurface conditions.
