Aura, Stella M., Myers, Paul G., Weaver, Andrew J.
A coarse resolution model is developed to study the thermohaline circulation of the North Atlantic. This model is driven by the annual mean Hellerman and Rosenstein wind stress field, Levitus sea surface restoring temperatures, and Schmitt, Bogden, and Dorman freshwater flux fields (mixed...

Jamiolkowski, M., Bellotti, R., Ghionna, V., Peterson, R. W., Robertson, P.
The pressuremeter is a unique method for assessing directly the in situ shear stiffness of soils. However, the correct interpretation and application of the measured modulus must account for the relevant stress and strain level acting around the pressuremeter during the test. A method to correct...

Observations on the dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion system, 1976-1978
Download1979
Killworth, P.D., Carmack, E.C.
The dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion System is described using data from a two-year physical limnology monitor of the system. Emphasis is placed on processes influencing temporal and spatial patterns in circulation, stratification and saline water distributions....

Pacific Water Pathway in the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Gyre in Two Simulations With Different Horizontal Resolutions
Download2019-01-01
Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., Lu, Youyu
A set of numerical simulations (with horizontal resolutions of 1/4 degrees and 1/12 degrees ) is conducted to study the Pacific Water pathway in the Arctic Ocean and the freshwater content in Beaufort Gyre. Passive tracer tags the Pacific Water entering through Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean...

Lord, E. R. F., Hofmann, B. A., Fourie, A. B., Mikular, J., Robertson, P. K.
An opportunity to re–examine the liquefaction potential of hydraulically placed tailings sand has been provided by the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX). As part of this experiment, undisturbed samples of tailings sand were recovered after freezing the tailings in situ. Examination of...

Physical and Hydrological Characteristics of Ponds in Reclaimed Upland Landscape Settings and Their Impact on Agriculture Capability
Download1990
Pigot, M. E., Macyk, T. M., Moran, S. R., Trudell, M. R.
In 1985, a one hectare pond developed in the upland reclaimed landscape at Vesta Mine in an area where extensive ponding had not previously been observed. Because of the thickness of the spoil, about 20 to 25 m, and the proximity to the active pit, a few hundred metres, it was inferred that the...

Trudell, M. R., Cheel, D. B., Moran, S. R., Macyk, T. M.
Between 1979 and 1988, the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP) investigated interactions of groundwater, soils, and geology as they affect successful reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains of Alberta. The overall goal of PHRP was: (1) to predict the long-term success and the...

Moran, S. R., Trudell, M. R., Macyk, T. M.
This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of the reclamation of surface coal mines in the Plains of Alberta. The focus of the PHRP is to develop a...

Abstract: The Berkeley trigger criterion for evaluating the potential for earthquake-induced phenomena in sandy soils is reviewed in this paper. The historical database comprising the criterion is reconsidered using a consistent ''weakest-link-in-the-chain'' approach. Revised plots of average...
