Quantification of wildfire-induced perturbations to soil-water retention curves and their impact on rainfall runoff
… to these hazards requires understanding which soil properties are most strongly affected by wildfire and what role these changes play in runoff generation and debris-flow initiation. Previous studies have shown significant post-fire perturbations to saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and …

Transient Seepage Analysis for Levees and Dams: Numerical and Monitoring Approaches
… block sensors were used to monitor the pore water pressures in the embankments. It was found that when measuring the field soil water retention, tensiometers were more responsive than porous block sensors at low suctions; although, at shallower depths, the tensiometer performance was limited …

Forest Productivity as a Function of Root Growth Opportunity
… are usually complex interactions between soil properties and tree species. We used a 7 by 7 factorial greenhouse experiment to create a matrix of bulk density ((Ï b)) and volumetric water content (θv) to determine soil compaction effects on seedling growth of: (i) ponderosa pine (Pinus …

Assessment of the impact of climate change on an instrumented embankment: an unsaturated soil mechanics approach
… comprises embankments and cuttings built with soil material in an unsaturated state that is exposed to the climate. The BIONICS project (BIOlogical and eNgineering Impacts of Climate change on Slopes) aims to investigate how climate change will affect the serviceability and safety of earth …
