Measurements for water retention calculations and physical
characterization were made on skeletal and non-skeletal soils in
southwest Oregon. A new bulk density sampler was designed for the
physical characterization of the steep, skeletal soils commonly
encountered in this area. The new sampler and the techniques
required for the measurement and...
In order to develop three models for use in quantifying the
environmental conditions of reforestation, extensive measurements
required for energy balance calculations were taken for a
reforestation site in southwest Oregon. The models are used to
decrease the number of measurements required to properly evaluate
the potential for heat or...
Natural hydraulic barriers exist at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential high-level nuclear waste repository, that have been identified as possible lateral diversions for reducing deep percolation through the waste storage area. Historical development of the conceptual model of lateral diversion has been limited by available field data, but numerical investigations...
