Soil compaction of peat under the influence of electrokinetic stabilization (EKS) treatment [PDF]

, 2019
This study aims to enhance the properties of peat such as, (shear strength, compressibility, permeability and liquid limit). Peat is considered as one of the problematic soil in construction projects all over the world, which covers about 4% land of the ...

Reconstruction and palaeoclimatic implications of Loch Lomond Readvance glaciers in the Southeast Grampians, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glaciation of Scotland during the Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS; 12.9–11.7 ka BP) left a distinct and well‐preserved geomorphological signature, permitting detailed reconstructions of former glaciers and palaeoclimatic conditions. However, the extent and style of glaciation in the Southeast Grampians remains poorly constrained.

Impacts of agricultural drainage on the quantity and quality of tropical peat soil organic matter in different types of forests

Geoderma, 2023
Tropical peatlands serve as huge carbon (C) pools in the global C balance, and degradation due to agricultural use is a major concern. The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between the C loss rate in agriculturally drained ...

Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The climate of the Kimberley region in tropical northwest Australia is dominated by the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon (IASM). Understanding of the palaeoclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum in this region, which is well placed to record IASM variations, is currently based on few records.

Destruction of Oil Pollution on Soils by Ameliorant Based on Peat

Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal, 2003
Biodestruction of crude oils of various chemical types recovered from different regions has been studied. Soil pollution with crude oil and oil products results in serious ecological problems in oils fields, that is especially characteristic for the ...

At the far end of everything: A likely Ahrensburgian presence in the far north of the Isle of Skye, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Late Upper Paleolithic (LUP) site containing Ahrensburgian‐type stone tools has been discovered at South Cuidrach, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Together with a group of intertidal stone circular alignments also recently discovered on the island, this new evidence for the occupation of northern Scotland also represents the most northerly LUP site ...

Artificial drainage of peatlands: hydrological and hydrochemical process and wetland restoration [PDF]

, 2004
Peatlands have been subject to artificial drainage for centuries. This drainage has been in response to agricultural demand, forestry, horticultural and energy properties of peat and alleviation of flood risk.

Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.
