EESA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Piezometer, Permafrost, Dendrochronology
Document Summary
Piezometer: observation well drilled down into the ground to sample waters to find the chemistry of water. Uranium hazards: earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis mitigation of climate warming effects. Urbanizing the area will make the surface run- off to increase and this will cause contaminants to collect. Thermograms - degradation of permafrost in response to warming hysteria - time of elevated warmth. Product of thermosets measuring the thickness of the ice. Orographic representation: air that penetrates into the interior has lost its precipitation dendrochronology: looks at tree rings. Width of the ring represents how well the tree is doing and this tells us about the moisture around the tree. Confined aquifer: sealed of beads of lower permeability. Landfill is a land for disposal of waste material. Water moves down and creates leeched and this then moves as a plume in the subsurface. Amd (acid mine drainage): open the subsurface to air.
