The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate the process of           slow deformation of porous ground saturated with fluids.  Various man-          made disturbances and geometries will be considered.  The first category        is concerned with subsidence due to pumping from a well through a               layered soil.  In the second category, ground deformation induced by an         intense heat source buried in a thick layer of soft soil will be                studied.  Finally, the thaw subsidence due to heated structures or oil          production wells will be investigated.  The proposed research has               significant theoretical and practical implications.  An award is                recommended.
