Field Observations of Decreasing Rock Fracturing Rates Over Geologic Time
Abstract Rock fracturing regulates the topography, carbon cycle, geologic hazards, and infrastructure degradation of the Earth. Yet, there remains a paucity of constraints on long‐term fracturing behavior. Here we use field measurements of 2221 clasts across a range of environments and rock types to show that the number and total length of fractures in

Geography and intra-national home bias : U.S. domestic trade in 1949 and 2007 [PDF]
This paper examines home bias in U.S. domestic trade in 1949 and 2007. We use a unique data set of 1949 carload waybill statistics produced by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and 2007 Commodity Flow Survey data.

Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume
Abstract A field experiment evaluated the transport of organic contaminants in a plume from hazardous waste disposal areas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plume contained many xenobiotic contaminants, with widely varying expected mobilities.

Odour Nuisance of Railway Sleepers Saturated with Creosote Oil
In recent years, Europe has increased rapidly the use of concrete railway sleepers, however wooden sleepers are still used, mainly for technical reasons (eg. low sensitivity to temperature fluctuations), as well as economic (eg.

Dynamic Risk From Mexican Wolves and Mountain Lions Influences Elk Foraging Behavior
We observed elk foraging across a wolf risk gradient throughout all seasons and diel periods to quantify proportions of foraging, intense vigilance, and multitasking at the individual and herd levels. We quantified encounter and kill risk from Mexican wolves and mountain lions using habitat selection functions and utilization distributions.

Abstract The composition and flux of mineral dust are largely driven by the entrainment and transport of sediment from both natural and human sources, resulting in varying ecological impacts at the deposition site. To investigate the influence of natural and human sources of dust in montane environments, we measured dust composition and deposition rate

Our study leverages advanced computer vision models, which we trained on a unique collection of geospatial imagery, to detect off‐highway vehicle (OHV) routes in the Mojave Desert, a critical habitat for the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii).
