Dust transport by the wind is not a uniform process but may occur in different modes
according to source area conditions and transport height and distance. Subsequently, these …

Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …

Particle‐size analysis (PSA) data can be presented and used in several ways, the most
common being a cumulative particle‐size distribution curve. Particle‐size analysis is often …

This textbook outlines the physical, chemical, and biologic properties of the major
sedimentary rocks, as revealed by petrographic microscopy, geochemical techniques, and …

Determination of soil particle‐size distribution (PSD) by sieving, hydrometer, and pipette
methods as well as by laser diffraction (LD) suffers from inherent flaws, mainly due to the …

Quantifying soil carbon dynamics is of utmost relevance in the context of global change
because soils play an important role in land–atmosphere gas exchange. Our current …

In this paper, we present results from a large number of experiments aimed at quantifying
method and instrument uncertainty associated with laser diffraction analysis. We analyzed …

Many uncertainties and doubts often arise when students, researchers and professionals of
archaeology start the study of the huge amount of ceramic sherds collected in …

A comparison between laser diffraction method (LDM) and the sieve-hydrometer method
(SHM) was carried out for 228 soil samples representing a different texture classification …

Estuaries are sites of port, industrial, urban and recreational development and also
important to many forms of animal life. They often form sinks for sediment and thus for …
