Does anyone have technical or scientific information on how termites construct their mounds—particularly how they regulate the thickness, height, and geometry of the structure to achieve climate control, structural resistance, and long-term durability? I'm especially interested in data or studies that link form to function in these natural systems.

I need to understand how termites build their mounds, and how they adjust the thickness, height, and width of the structure to ensure both climate comfort and structural resistance and durability.
