Heating and cooling both make up a large part of the total energy demand in the UK; long-
term seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) can address temporal imbalances between …

Landslides pose significant risks to communities and infrastructure, and mitigating these
risks relies on understanding landslide causes and triggering processes. It has been shown …

Periglacial environments are characterized by cold-climate non-glacial conditions and
ground freezing. The coldest periglacial environments in Pleistocene Britain were underlain …

The geometry, microtextures, and c-axis fabrics of calcite “beef” veins in the Lower Jurassic
black shales (Wessex Basin, UK) were characterized to investigate the mechanism …

The development of the conceptual ground model (CGM) is a critical component of any desk
study or ground engineering project planning process. A key task of the engineering …

Shales play a major role in the stability of slopes, both natural and engineered. This paper
attempts to provide a review of the state-of-the-art in shale slope stability. The complexities …

Abstract The Jurassic Escarpment in the North York Moors in Northern Britain has a high
density of deep-seated relict landslides but their regional hazard is poorly understood due to …

Rapid, non-intrusive surface wave surveys provide depth profiles from which ground models
can be generated for use in earthwork condition assessment. Stiffness throughout …

Various monitoring systems have been applied to warn regarding debris flow; however, the
information regarding the selection sensors and determination of the installation area is …

The Lias outcrop extends continuously from Dorset to Yorkshire in England, with outlying
areas in Somerset and Wales. It underlies the transport routes between a number of major …
