The US Gulf of Mexico coastal region has repeatedly been subjected to major flood events. Local geotechnical site characteristics and geomorphology can change due sediment transport processes during such However, field measurements extreme conditions are challenging. This paper discusses initial attempts at a combined geophysical investigation the uppermost layers riverbeds following severe flo...

creased by 22.5% over five cycles of selection for high RPR in MoSCSSS. The correlation between RPR and The rind penetrometer is an effective tool for measuring stalk EH is of interest in terms of direct vs. indirect selection strength in an effort to improve maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm for stalk lodging resistance. However, previous studies have indicated a for stalk strength. That is, to wh...

Dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminants, comprised of chlorinated aliphatic compounds, are a major source of groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site (SRS). To successfitlly remediate a site contaminated by DNAPLs, it is imperative that the slowly dissolving, non-aqueous phase source be fbund and removed. There are few technologies that can successfully and consistently ...

Wood harvesting with the use of wheeled harvesters is now common in Polish and Czech forests. While moving forest, wheels these machines affect forest soil extent this impact interesting. The paper presents results measurements changes that occur on operational trails after timber using Entracon Sioux EH30 thinning harvester. were taken fragments three trails, between ruts at a distance 1.0 m o...

We have found that high-quality vertical seismic profile (VSP) data can be collected for near-surface applications using the seismic cone penetrometer. Conemounted accelerometers are used as the VSP receivers, and a sledgehammer against the cone truck baseplate is used as a source. This technique eliminates the need to drill a borehole, thereby reducing the cost of the survey, and results in a ...
