The Eastland Woolen Mill (EWM), which straddled the East Branch of the Sebasticook River in Corinna, Maine, was listed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Priority List in July of 1999. The site is currently undergoing clean-up activities. The United States Army Corps of Engineers New England District is managing site activities under a cooperative interagency ...

Advanced INSAR techniques using stable targets on the ground, such as buildings, have been successfully applied to deformation studies in city areas. However, in some cases high-quality reference measurements have not been available and the validations of the INSAR results have been based on data that probably is not adequate for this purpose. In 2005 the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) establ...

Goat Paddock in northern Western Australia is a *5 km-diameter impact crater of Eocene age excavated in gently dipping Proterozoic sandstones. Roughly radial gorges formed by post-impact erosion provide cross-sectional views of the wall and rim zone. The predominant structural theme is one of synclinal rim folding with broad zones in which bedrock strata were deformed by impact to steep, vertic...

Regolith is a terrestrial term, also used for the Moon. It has been defined as " a general term for the layer or mantle of fragmental and unconsolidated rock material, whether residual or transported and of highly varied character, that nearly everywhere forms the surface of the land and overlies or covers bedrock. It includes rock debris of all kinds, [including] volcanic ash. .. " (Bates and ...

[1] Experimental observations comparing two steep unchanneled valleys in the Oregon Coast Range, one intensively instrumented (CB1) and the other monitored for runoff but which produced a debris flow (CB2), shed light on the mechanisms of shallow flow in bedrock, its interaction with the vadose zone, and its role in generating landslides. Previous work at CB1 led to the proposal that during sto...

Soil degradation, including rocky desertification, of the karst regions in China is severe. Karst landscapes are especially sensitive to soil degradation as carbonate rocks are nutrient-poor and easily eroded. Understanding the balance between soil formation and soil erosion is critical for long-term soil sustainability, yet little is known about the initial soil forming processes on karst terr...
