However, the dispersive effect of superparamagnetic (SPM) soils significantly impacts performance of these systems. In modeling of the SPM soils, the distribution of magnetic particles in the soil is ...

Dear Engineers , If the road alignment soil is from dispersive or collapse type, extra precautions need to be taken during design period, to prevent the formation of deep gullies, because such ...

For dams constructed without filters and of poor construction, it is critical to understand the nature of dispersive soils so they can be treated or appropriate remedial measures applied. This paper ...

Angelenos are understandably worried about the toxins deposited by smoke and ash from the Eaton and Palisades urban wildfires in January, but after L.A. Times Plants tested soil around eight burn ...

Published in the Journal of Soils and Sediments, the study presents compelling evidence that catastrophic wildfires and soil erosion—driven by natural climate shifts—may have sparked the first ...

A team of researchers has developed a new strategy for identifying hazardous pollutants in soil -- even ones that have never been isolated or studied in a lab. A team of researchers at Rice ...

A machine learning-based method combines surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, theoretical spectral predictions, and spectral libraries to detect hazardous soil contaminants such as PAHs and PACs ...

Soil collected in a county study from properties in both fire areas showed that even after debris and soil was removed, toxins such as lead and other chemicals could still be present above health ...

However, there are times when soil conditions are less than ideal and farmers decide – because of the calendar or insurance or whatever – to move ahead with planting. What then? In this ...
