The role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall-runoff response at hillslope and catchment scales

Creator:

Gabrielli, Christopher P.

Abstract:

Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock drilling system to explore bedrock...

Chemical modification of wood : dimensional stabilization of viscoelastic thermal compressed wood

Creator:

Gabrielli, Christopher P.

Abstract:

The tendency of wood to shrink and swell with changing moisture content remains as one of the most significant challenges to using wood in its many applications. Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) has been shown to significantly increase the density, strength and stiffness of wood. However, dimensional stability is still a...
