Natural and Artificial Radioactivity in the Rhine and Its Tributaries
Presently, natural and artificial radioactivity in the Rhine River does not present a radiological hazard to the population. On the contrary, the... -
Early Warning Strategies and Practices Along the River Rhine
In 1986, the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (ICPR) installed a Warning and Alarm Plan (WAP) in order to avert the dangers... -
Pharmaceuticals in the River Rhine
Pharmaceuticals are introduced into the River Rhine mainly via wastewater and can be detected almost permanently in mixed samples taken over the... -
Pollutants as Byproducts and Degradation Products of Chemical Syntheses
Byproducts of industrial organic syntheses are emitted with the wastewater into the River Rhine; in many cases they are polar and poorly... -
Water Quality of Lake Constance
Lake Constance is used as a drinking water reservoir for about 5 million people. Because of its glacial origin from the Alps, the amount of... -
Hydrology
The River Rhine is one of the major rivers of Europe -#8211; the only river that connects the Alps with the North Sea. It flows 1320 km from two... -
Assessment of Organic Compounds in the Rhine Estuary
Over the past centuries the Rhine estuary has changed from a natural, hardly disturbed estuary into an anthropogenetically influenced area that... -
An Earthquake Early Warning System for the Romanian Capital
Although earthquake early warning systems have inherently short warning times between seconds and a minute they become increasingly important as part... -
Small-Scale Mantle Plumes: Imaging and Geodynamic Aspects
Columnar, upwelling masses of hot rock in the Earth’s mantle, called mantle plumes, are spectacular features of our planet because they supply the... -
Nonlinear Seismology - The Seismology of the XXI Century
Nonlinear effects in ground motion during large earthquakes have been a long controversial issue between seismologists and geotechnical engineers.... -
The Dead Sea Fault and Its Effect on Civilization
The Dead Sea fault (DSF) is the most impressive tectonic feature in the Middle East. It is a plate boundary, which transfers sea floor spreading in... -
A Combined Geophysical/Engineering Approach for the Seismic Safety of Long-Span Bridges
The spatial distribution of the resonance frequency of the sedimentary cover in the Cologne area was estimated by the horizontal-to-vertical spectral... -
Structure of the Upper Mantle Beneath Northern Eurasia Derived from Russian Deep-Seismic PNE Profiles
From 1968 until 1990, Russian scientists carried out an intensive program of deep seismic sounding across the territory of the former Soviet Union,... -
Modelling of Descending Slab Evolution Beneath the SE-Carpathians: Implications for Seismicity
Recent findings from regional seismic tomography and refraction studies and from GPS studies on vertical movements together with extremely high... -
Towards Quality Assurance and an Adequate Risk Management in Geotechnical Engineering - Application of Eurocode 7 and DIN 4020 in Engineering Geology
A key issue of engineering geology is the extreme variety of soil and rock, their heterogeneity and at places anisotropy, the fabric of rockmasses,... -
3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning as a New Field Measurement and Monitoring Technique
3D terrestrial laser scanning is a relatively new, but already revolutionary, surveying technique. The survey yield a digital data set, which is... -
A Constitutive Model for Chemically Sensitive Clays
This paper deals with a chemo-hydro-mechanical (CHM) model for unsaturated clays. The chemo-mechanical effects are described within an elasto-plastic... -
Coring Performance to Characterise the Geology in the “Cran aux Iguanodons” of Bernissart (Belgium)
The “Cran aux iguanodons” of Bernissart is a sinkhole (or chimney caving) with a valuable paleontological deposit due to the exceptional quantity and... -
Site Investigation for Abandoned Lignite Mines in Urban Environment
The existence of shallow coal mining in urban environments poses a great danger to engineering works due to either the cree** subsidence at the... -
Engineering Geological Model of the Contact between Two Petrographic and Stratigraphic Units along the Zagreb-Split Highway, Croatia
The highway route Zagreb-Split, section through Lika region, was designed along the valley of the River Gacka. In this section the highway level line...
