Alonso Zarza, Ana M., Jones, Brian
The ruggest karst terrain that is developed on the dolostones of the Miocene Caayman Formation on Grand Cayman includes numerous large cavities that formed through the activity of tree roots. The surfaces of those cavities are coated with laminated calcrete crusts that are up to 8 cm thick. These...

The Downie Slide case history demonstrates the importance of detailed site investigation and long-term monitoring, as well as the need for reinterpretation of the local geologic, structural, and groundwater conditions, and reassessment of slope stability as new information becomes available....

Mixing displays a major role in the growth of photosynthesis microorganisms in active suspensions: it gives access to nutrients, improves the microorganisms’ exposure to light, and homogenizes temperature distribution in photobioreactors (PBRs). Therefore, mixing is an essential factor in the...

Alçiçek, M.C., Alçiçek, H., Altunel, E., Arenas, C., Bons, P., Brogi, A., Capezzuoli, E., de Riese, T., Della Porta, G., Gandin, A., Guo, L., Jones, B., Karabacak, V., Kershaw, S., Liotta, D., Mindszenty, A., Pedley, M., Ronchi, P., Swennen, R., Temiz, U.
This study is the first documentation of syn-diagenetic non-tectonic contractional deformations observed in two Pleistocene thermogene travertine deposits from the late Miocene-Pleistocene Tuscan extensional-hydrothermal province (Italy). The deposits consist of primary porous beds hosting...

Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...

The Edmonton-area landscape has been shaped by multiple geomorphic events throughout the Quaternary period. These events account for the distribution of resources and landforms across Central Alberta, making their reconstruction essential to understanding the geomorphic history of the Canadian...

The rugged karst terrain developed on the dolostones of the Miocene Cayman Formation (Fm) on Grand Cayman includes numerous large cavities that formed through the activity of tree roots. The surfaces of those cavities are coated with laminated calcrete crusts up to 8 cm thick that are formed of...

To evaluate the applicability and expand the limit of the Zintl-Klemm concept, many new alkali-metal pnictides were synthesized by high temperature solid reactions in A-M-Pn or A-Tt-Pn ternary systems and A-M-Tt-Pn quaternary systems (A = Na, K, Rb; M = Mn, Zn, Cd; Tt = Si, Ge, Sn; Pn = As, Sb). ...
