Slope effect on saltation over a climbing sand dune
Results from a three-year study are presented that integrate field work (in Israel), physical modeling (wind-tunnel testing at UC Davis), and numerical solutions of grain trajectories to model and explain sand transport over a climbing dune. Field grain-size analyses of surfaceand saltation-trap materials taken along various positions of the slope suggest that only smaller particles (< 230 pm i...
متن کاملAttached Winter Floral Assemblages on Sand from Grand Traverse Bay
Natural benthic substrates were collected beneath the ice of Grand Traverse Bay by divers on March I0, 1978 as part of a seasonal investigation of northern Lake Michigan benthic algae assemblages. Some of the samples from each selected depth between the surface and 32 m were examined using SEM. Natural substrates (silt, sand, pebbles, algae, shells) were field-fixed in glutaraldehyde, dehydrate...
متن کاملLocomotory transition from water to sand and its effects on undulatory kinematics in sand lances (Ammodytidae).
Sand lances, fishes in the genus Ammodytes, exhibit a peculiar burrowing behavior in which they appear to swim rapidly into the substrate. They use posteriorly propagated undulations of the body to move in both water, a Newtonian fluid, and in sand, a non-Newtonian, granular substrate. In typical aquatic limbless locomotion, undulations of the body push against water, which flows because it is ...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigation of Reinforced Sand Slope Using Geogird Encased Stone Column
Among all of the slope stability methods, use of stone columns and geosynthetic elements can be a good way for stabilizing. One of the efficient ways in order to reinforce earth slopes is Geogrid Encased Stone Column (GESC). This technique can dramatically increase bearing capacity and decrease settlement rate. The aim of this paper is experimentally to investigate a comparison between the beha...
متن کاملSand Mountain Recreation Area Visitor Survey
In order for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to comply with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and better meet the needs of the public; a visitor satisfaction survey was conducted at 24 BLM recreation sites in 13 states during fiscal year 2011 (FY11). The survey was developed to measure each site's performance related to BLM GPRA Goal 3.1 Provide for a quality recreation exp...
