Работа посвящена вскрытию закономерностей возникновения, развития и распределения по территории юга Западной Сибири и в первую очередь Омской области эродированных и дефлированных почв изменяющихся в зависимости от генезиса, физического, физико-химического и химического состава почв, от географического положения в почвенно-климатической зоне, геоморфологического района, типа эрозионного расчленения и элемента рельефа, структуры почвенного покрова, состояния и типа использования почв, агроландшафта и экосистемы в целом.

There is a vast difference between a structural engineer and a geotechnical engineer in terms of the material being used. A structural engineer defines the properties of the concerned material, such as concrete or steel, and carries out only a limited number of control tests according to the required standards. In contrast, the material used by a geotechnical engineer is natural and thus, by definition, it can be spatially heterogeneous and, in composition, it can be multiphasic, discontinuous or even anisotropic. This leaves the geotechnical engineer with no choice but to accept it as it is and to accommodate themselves to it. Moreover, while developments in numerical modeling depend increasingly on specific advanced test parameters, soil testing programs remain limited because of the competition between contractors to reduce costs and time. 

Республика Башкортостан расположена на географически сложной территории, которая разделяется на три части: Предуральскую – равнинно-возвышенную, относящуюся к Русской платформе; Уральскую – горную, располагающуюся в области Уральской геосинклинали; Зауральскую – возвышенно-холмистую, примыкающую к Сибирской платформе. Этим объясняется большое разнообразие физико-географических, геоморфологических и климатических условий, почвообразующих пород, типов растительности и почв.

The Soil Science Society of America is extremely pleased to publish this comprehensive compilation of modern mineralogical methods. Co-editors April L. Ulery and L. Richard Drees have done an outstanding job of assembling this volume. This valuable work began with the vision of Dr. L. Richard Drees, who unfortunately fell ill during the early stages of the monograph and was unable to complete the task. Co-editor Dr. April Ulery has done a great job of bringing it to completion.

Electrical Resistivity (ER) is a non-destructive geophysical method for geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigation. This technique is promising in producing soil moisture map and obtaining subsoil profile information. Additionally, the saturated and unsaturated soil parameters can be evaluated through the electrical resistivity method. The saturated and unsaturated soil properties are critical parameters for earthen infrastructure design, especially the landfill bottom liners and top covers, whereas the soil hydraulic properties play a significant role in the overall performance.

The experimenter is confronted nearly every day with the examination of results from his or her own experiments as well as those of others. There is a need to know the methods by which the data were obtained and what confidence can be placed in the numerical results. Significant aspects of these matters involve the principles and methods of statistics, and the jective of this chapter is to describe the basic ideas of statistics that are relevant to errors of observations and numbers derived from these observations. 

In April, 1996 a geochemical soil sampling program was carried out on the Salo Option (Figure 1) in order to complete the evaluation of the base metal potential of the property. Two diamond drill holes which targeted a coincident magnetic-HLEM anomaly failed to intersect significant base metal mineralization. The subsequent soil sampling survey was designed to explore for indications of economic mineralization downdip of the drill holes. Soil samples were analysed for trace elements, after being treated by the enzyme leach partial extraction technique (Clark, 1992), by ICP/MS courtesy of Activation Labs Ltd (Actlabs). Results are then used to define geochemical anomalies in overburden possibly related to underlying mineralized bedrock. <...>
