Although not that recent a paper, the contribution by Noel Hobbs in
QJEG Vol 19 (1986) pp 7-80 entitled 'Mire morphology and the
properties and behaviour of some British and foreign peats', presents
a good synopsis of the formation, behaviour and engineering properties
of this material

Dear All,
Can anyone help me find recent papers/data on the geotechnical properties
of peat (or organic rich silts), in particular the longterm consolidation
properties of such soils.
