Solarisation technology allows for improving soil quality as well as crop productivity. The
influence of the properties and method of use of plastic materials used to cover soils, such …

Surface and subsurface fire in municipal solid waste landfills (including dumpsites) is a
complex and intricate phenomenon, frequency of which is expected to increase due to …

Soil thermal conductivity (λ) is one of the essential parameters relating to heat exchange,
and it also plays a key role in verifying soil thermal hydrodynamics in permafrost regions. In …

Natural gas hydrates in oceanic and permafrost sediments are considered a future energy
resource. Injecting CO 2 into these sediments is believed to aid in the safe and efficient …

In 2050, the population of the world is expected to be 9 billion, which means we have to
produce six times more food. With this population explosion and increase in food demand …

Purpose Organic matter improves soil fertility and water and thermal properties, but its
content often decreases. This decrease may be mitigated by the addition of exogenous …

The knowledge of soil thermal properties is important for determining how a soil will behave
under changing climate conditions, especially in the sensitive environment of permafrost …

Accurate measurement of the thermal properties (viz., thermal conductivity, thermal
resistivity, volumetric heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity) of soils in cold regions …

A number of recent publications have suggested that in order to reproduce thermal testing of
energy piles, a finite value for the geo-contact thermal resistance (geo-CTR) at the soil …

Soil thermal conductivity is an important parameter for understanding soil heat transfer. It is
difficult to measure in situ with available instruments. This work aims to propose a numerical …
