Severe scouring from splash damming was one of the earliest reported forms of widespread anthropogenic disturbance in streams of the Pacific Northwest, USA. Splash damming was a common method of log transport in western Oregon from the 1880s through the 1950s. Before being released in large freshets to downstream lumber...
Around 74 ka, a supervolcano, Toba Caldera in Sumatra, Indonesia erupted, producing the Youngest Toba Tuff and its associated caldera. After this catastrophic eruption, a lake filled the caldera, sedimentation within the lake occurred, and the process known as resurgence began. Today, the resurgent dome, Samosir Island, is uplifted 700...
A new carbohydrate-phenol based resorcinol resin
(CPR resin) was synthesized by end capping a known
carbohydrate-phenol based resole with resorcinol under
basic reaction conditions. Synthetic parameters, such as
duration of cook, pH, and the amount of resorcinol and
formaldehyde were varied to produce resins with molecular
weights (Mw) ranging from...
