Preface This publication contains material presented at the Euroconference entitled "New Paradigms for the Prediction of Subsurface Conditions: Characterisation of the Shallow Subsurface and Implications for Urban Infrastructure and Environmental Assessment", together with ideas and inspiration freely shared amongst the delegates. The Euroconference was held at the Sol Cress conference centre, Spa, Belgium, 7-12 July 2001. This Conference, the 7thin a series (Turner, this volume), arose from a series of meetings which began over 10 years ago, as mentioned in the introduction to Part A (this volume), in Santa Barbara in California with NATO sponsorship. Then followed a move to Europe with a 3D GIs focus, to Wiirzburg and then to Freiburg (Germany), then with ESF funding to: Lucca (Italy), Canterbury (UK) and Kerkrade
