Abstract: The use of passive solar design in our homes and buildings is one way to offset the ever-increasing dependence on fossil fuels and the resulting pollution to our air, our land, and our ...

Abstract: Evapotranspirative covers used for waste containment or land reclamation strategies are intended to function in perpetuity. Pedogenesis of the cover materials caused by biophysical processes may lead to the development of ...

Abstract: A mesoscale atmospheric model, nested in operational global numerical weather prediction fields, is used to estimate low-level winds and surface wind stress through Nares Strait, between Ellesmere Island and Greenland, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into the role of peat fibers in the development of anisotropic stiffness and strength within peat samples taken from below three Canadian National Railway embankments ...

Abstract: Several factors such as the wave characteristics, the seabed type, the sediment size, and the porosity characteristics influence the transient porewater pressure response below the mudline due ...

Abstract: Evaporative losses from the surface of barren waste rock piles in arid environments occur as a result of water vapor diffusion. Water vapor diffusion is accompanied by adsorption of water vapor. A review of the literature ...
