Book excerpt: The report for the first year is an investigation of seasonal creep of soil. Flexible pipes, which change position in response to creeping soil, have been installed in three areas on the San Francisco Peninsula and two areas near Cincinnati, Ohio. Measurement of creep is obtained from successive readings of tilt of the pipes as a function of depth. Creep is being measured independently on square steel rods which were driven into the ground to different depths. Tilt of the rods is measured at the ground surface with a modified alidade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes a two-year investigation of seasonal creep in a black silty clay soil that is common in the San Francisco Bay Area. Because of drought during the two years, the soil did not become entirely saturated and there apparently was no creep, so that field instrumentation provided no new data on creep rates. Nevertheless, much data was obtained on seasonal changes of the soil and on displacements produced by shrinking and swelling of the soil. The data indicate that directions and magnitudes of horizontal displacements of soil that occur between a wet and a dry season are controlled by the positions and attitudes of nearby shrinkage cracks. These displacements, averaged over a large area, are therefore random. During the wet seasons wetting of the soil occurred along an irregular front advancing from the ground surface. The wetting front advanced more rapidly in debris that had filled shrinkage cracks than in the soil in polygons surrounded by shrinkage cracks. Many of the features of seasonal creep of the silty clay soils can be understood in terms of a theoretical model that utilizes rate process theory. Three essential features of creep of this soil are that the creep displacement profile is convex upwards, that creep begins shortly after initial wetting of the soil, and that creep eventually stops without obvious changes in water content.

Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in this form in 1971, the content of this book was originally part of a larger composite volume ‘Water, Earth and Man’ (1969) which provided a synthesis of hydrology, geomorphology and socio-economic geography. This volume brings together the systematic theme of physical hydrology while maintaining a link with the original book which emphasised the benefit of the study of water being considered in the widest sense within the physical and social environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The specialist contributors to Geomorphological Techniques have thoroughly augmented and updated their original, authoritative coverage with critical evaluations of major recent developments in this field. A new chapter on neotectonics reflects the impact of developments in tectonic theory, and heavily revised sections deal with advances in remote sensing, image analysis, radiometric dating, geomorphometry, data loggers, radioactive tracers, and the determination of pore water pressure and the rates of denudation.

Download or read book Geomorphology and Soils written by K.S. Richards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils and sediments influence current processes, preserve evidence of past processes, indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies. They provide an important key to the integration of short-term process studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. This book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists.
Download or read book Soils and Environment written by Steve Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils represent the result of a complex set of interacting processes and are an integral component of the environment. Yet soils remain the most undervalued and misused of the Earth's resources. This work examines the fundamental importance of soils. Combining practical analysis and interpretation with a theoretical approach, the authors discuss the properties of soils, debate the environmental factors that influence their development, and address their resulting spatial characteristics on a global scale. Examining the impact of environmental controls on soil formation this book also analyzes the role of soils as components of natural environmental systems, and soil-human interactions. A glossary of terms aids the less scientific reader. Adopting macro and micro-scale, pure and applied, spatial and temporal, and natural and human related approaches, this book offers an understanding of soils within an environmental context. As environmental problems, such as pollution, acidification, erosion and climatic change become matters of greater concern, this work offers an understanding for readers across a spectrum of environmentally-related subjects.
