Agriculture tillage is the process of ripping the soil to prepare it for planting. This is the most common management method in U.S. agriculture. Remote sensing contributes to the monitoring of topographical and land morphological changes. A new paper in the Journal of Surveying Engineering, "Comparison of sUAS Photogrammetry and TLS for Detecting Changes in Soil Surface Elevations Following Deep Tillage," assesses the effectiveness...
Upon completion in early 2025, the 6.8 mi sewer tunnel will contribute to the St. Louis region’s ongoing efforts to improve water quality in streams and rivers.
Staying current with the latest developments in the field can be difficult. Picking the right option for your project from among those latest developments is even more challenging.
Donald T. Goldberg, co-founder of the geotechnical engineering firm GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. and an active member of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section, has died at 92.
Author Elizabeth Kolbert looks at whether humans — after doing so much damage to nature through the development of the built environment — can now reengineer nature to save it.
A paper in the March issue of "Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering" focuses on granular soils containing nonplastic fines (silt), investigating the combined effect of the void ratio, effective vertical stress, and fines content on the liquefaction resistance of sands.
