The role of insolation as an instigator for crack initiation in rock is still a continuously perplexing topic. An immense amount of data has been collected on the influen[...]

The Mauch Chunk Group has been interpreted as a product of multiple transgressions and regressions (Miller and Eriksson, 2000; Beuthin and Blake, 2004). An outcrop conta[...]

Landfilling is one of the most common methods to dispose municipal solid waste (MSW) and coal combustion residues (CCRs) in the U.S. Sustainable landfilling will be the k[...]

Rocks at Earth’s surface experience progressive damage due to exposure to environmental conditions. Although environmental damage to rocks is recognized as being time-dep[...]

A 40-meter transect consisting of eight equally spaced 2.44-m vibracores was taken across a marginal-marine salt marsh behind North Folly Island, a barrier island located[...]

This study characterizes four toposequences in two first-order watersheds (4.5 and 6.2 ha) of the SE Piedmont where the entire Holocene source-to-sink system is presumabl[...]

Rock weathering, or the mechanical and chemical breakdown of rock over time, creates the landscape on which all terrestrial life is built. Weathering produces sediment, a[...]

The persistent degradation of soil stiffness and strength due to moisture fluctuations can be mitigated through Engineered Water Repellency (EWR). This technique alters t[...]

The Ashe Metamorphic Suite in western North Carolina hosts metabasites ranging in grade from eclogite to amphibolite. To the west of the Grandfather Mountain Window (GMW[...]

The depth at which weathering starts has been studied by others in felsic and mafic protoliths. However, weathering initiation in foliated parent material, which is inher[...]
