It is our impression that, over the last couple of decades, fluvial geomorphology and fluvial sedimentary geology have been developing in parallel, rather than in conjunction as might be expected. Though we tell our students that these are interdependent disciplines, perusal of the literature uggests there has been a failure of each domain to inform and recognize the needs of the other. Many facts have been collected, from both modem and ancient examples, yet our widerstanding of the sedimentary record of 1ivers eems not to have advanced significantly. It is still a struggle to map the architecture ob erved in the preserved rock record to the genetic components recorded from active modern rivers. Determination of the lateral extent and va1iation of lithofacies remains exceedingly problematic, especially in the subsurface.

The title Fundamentals and Applications of Rock Mechanics deals with the foundation of mechanics applied to rock engineering. It is a discipline firmly engaged with the basic and applied researches and activities comprising mining, civil constructions and foundations, dams, vehicular and hydroelectric tunnels, caverns, slope stability, underground storage facilities for foods, fuels, and waste material, underground disposal of municipal and radioactive waste, petroleum wellbore and others. The term ‘rock mechanics’ signifies the basic sciences of mechanics applied to rock and rock masses. It is also a discipline which analyses the stability of structures made of/on the rock masses.
