The area burned by forest fires in Canada has increased over the past four decades, at the same time as summer season temperatures have warmed. Here we use output from a coupled climate model to demonstrate that human emissions of greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosol have made a detectable...

Detection of shear zones in a natural clay slope using the cone penetration test and continuous dynamic sampling
Download2000
Mahmoud, M., Woeller, D., Robertson, P. K.
Abstract: The detection of shear zones along which a mass of soil is moving is essential for understanding the state of stability of natural slopes. Weaker zones in clay soils can be identified from low values of cone penetration test (CPT) tip resistance measured during penetration. This paper...

Determination of Hydrocarbon Group-Type of Diesel Fuels by Gas Chromatography with Vacuum Ultraviolet Detection
Download2016
Walsh, Phillip, Harynuk, J. James, Weber, Brandon M.
A GC-vacuum ultraviolet (UV) method to perform group-type separations of diesel range fuels was developed. The method relies on an ionic liquid column to separate diesel samples into saturates, mono-, di-, and polyaromatics by gas chromatography, with selective detection via vacuum UV absorption...
