Dear colleague,

In 2013 G�otechnique will be holding a Symposium in Print on Bio- and Chemo- Mechanical Processes in Geotechnical Engineering.

A special edition of G�otechnique will be published to coincide with a one-day symposium at The Institution of Civil Engineers in London.

If you would like to contribute a paper to this Symposium, then please submit to sohini.banerjee@icepublishing.com an abstract of your proposed paper by 30 September 2011. Submissions will be subject to two-stage review. Initial selection of abstracts will be made by the SIP 2013 Editorial Panel. Authors of selected abstracts will be asked to submit their papers by 1 March 2012. Selection of papers to be published will be on the basis of full peer review.

Best regards,

Lyesse Laloui
