How can I plot multiple 2D contour plots on a single 3D plot?

I have a number of 2D contour plots, and I need to represent them on one single 3D plot at various Z axis intervals. Also, the X and Y boundaries of each contour plot are different in some cases.
This is the best example I could find:
Unfortunately there isn't anything like it in the plot gallery.
How do I do this?
Thanks!
Edit: Included the example in the original question.

Can you give a link with an example of what visualization you're trying to achieve? Maybe something in Plot Gallery: http://www.mathworks.com/discovery/gallery.html

You can use surf function as this example :
[x,y]=meshgrid(-1:0.1:1);
z=cos(x)+sin(y);
figure,surfc(x,y,z);

ok you can try to use the surf command :
[x,y]=meshgrid(-1:0.1:1);
contour=rand(size(x));
z=exp(-x.^2-y.^2);
surf(x,y,z,contour);
The contour now is placed according to the 3D object .

As you mentioned....Making the contour maps themselves 3D is no problem.....how did you get that... it would be great if you can share it.

I believe contourslice is the solution here.
