Acid mine drainage (AMD) remains a major environmental challenge for the mining industry.
The preferred options for effectively limiting the environmental impact of AMD consist in …

Remediation by a composite cover was implemented on partly oxidized sulfide-rich tailings
in northern Ontario, Canada to reduce the production and release of acid mine drainage …

Shallow groundwater affects crop growth and yield by altering the root zone water and salt
budgets, with the process being more complicated in layered soils. To gain insights into the …

As an extension of the two-layer capillary barrier, a three-layer capillary barrier landfill cover
system is proposed for minimizing rainfall infiltration in humid climates. This system consists …

The majority of geoengineering applications occur in the unsaturated (vadose) zone, which
is the near-surface region forming the connection between meteorological phenomena …

Extreme rainfall significantly threatens the safety of the landfill cover system, especially
under humid climates. This study aims to provide design recommendations for a sustainable …

Salt stress severely constrains crop productivity in arid lands of the world. Burying straw at
the 40 cm soil depth plus plastic film mulching could mitigate root zone salinity, but little is …

Rainfall infiltration can lead to landslides and other geohazards. This paper develops an
analytical solution incorporating 1D coupled deformation and rain water infiltration in an …

The generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) remains a major environmental challenge for
the mining industry. The reclamation of old mine sites with pre-oxidized tailings is …

Carbon emissions from landfill construction and management have become a global
concern. Life cycle analysis (LCA) has been widely used to assess the environmental …
