Insights into glacial processes from micromorphology of silt-sized sediment [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Silt-rich meltwater plume deposits (MPDs) analyzed from marine sediment cores have elucidated relationships that are clearly connected, yet difficult to constrain, between subglacial hydrology, ice-marginal landforms, and grounding-zone retreat patterns ...

Transforming Agricultural Water Management for Healthy People and Planet: Thinking Beyond Water

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops the concept of Thinking Beyond Water, a transdisciplinary paradigm that reframes agricultural water management (AWM) as a systems catalyst for planetary health, equity, justice and resilience. Moving beyond conventional irrigation‐centric models, we reimagine AWM through integrative frameworks such as the planetary ...

Performance of soil nails in Dublin glacial till [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials and it is known that application of design procedures developed ...

Environmental benefits from carbon sequestration, canola production, and zero‐tillage adoption on Saskatchewan farms

open access: yesJournal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from crop production contribute to anthropogenic climate change, while agricultural soils also sequester atmospheric carbon. Direct measurement of soil organic carbon (SOC) is limited by high sampling costs and the vast spatial extent of farmland.

Runoff Generating Processes in Boreal Forest Environments with Glacial Tills

open access: yes, 2002
This review describes the processes by which runoff is generated from rain or snowmelt in a boreal forest landscape with a shallow layer of glacial tills overlying a relatively impermeable bedrock.

Rare earth elements (REE) and thorium in the youngest Pleistocene glacial tills in Poland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The study encompassed outcrops of glacial tills (topsoil, subsoil-1, subsoil-2) of the maximum stadial of the Vistulian Glaciation and of the Wartanian Stadial of the Odranian Glaciation, occurring along the maximum extent of the Vistulian ice sheet. The
