This dissertation presents an in-depth investigation into the performance of Engineered Water Repellent (EWR) soils for mitigating frost action, particularly in pavement [...]

Post-glacial interactions between climate, landscapes, and soils remain poorly understood, especially in alpine and sub-alpine areas. Here, I aim to increase understandin[...]

Few studies provide data that can document the long-term landscape evolution of the Piedmont of the southeastern United States. Here we present the results of field mappi[...]

Residual soils are found throughout the world and often behave differently than transported soils. Residual soils are identified as materials developed from the insitu w[...]

Construction and development projects alter an environment from its natural state into a man-made setting. Construction land use areas have been found to contribute the [...]

Soil development combined with sediment storage and erosion in small, upland watersheds are key landscape processes for which assumptions are frequently made but rarely v[...]

Construction and demolition (C&D) activities produce 170 million tons of waste annually (US EPA 2009), 15% of which are drywall. Drywall from construction activities,[...]

Extracellular polysaccharide produced by a oligotrophic and nonpathogenic bacteria, Arthrobacter viscosus, promises to be an effective alternative to the use of chemical [...]

Highway embankments require careful selection of the borrow material and construction practices. Most highway agencies in North America specify the soil selection criteri[...]

Geosynthetic fiber reinforced soil can be used to remediate weak, near-surface soils. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact that the geofibers had on the[...]
