Abstract

AbstractThis introductory paper describes Quaternary soils according to the climatic conditions under which they were formed (glacial, periglacial, temperate, arid and tropical). The paper discusses the geological characteristics of the soils and the processes that have acted in forming or altering them, as well as their geotechnical properties.
