The experimental results show that, after six runs of rainfall -- each with the amount of 54 millimeters of water on a steep loess slope with slope angle greater than 70° -- the total amount of ...

Conventional burial in a loess slope is also prone to landslides, requiring advanced monitoring and integrity measures (OGJ, May 21, 2001, p. 62, and Feb. 17, 1986, p. 68).

Loess is formed through accumulation of wind-blown dust and composed mainly of silt-sized particles. Scientists have believed that these landscapes should not be major sources of dust.

A new map showing the distribution of loess sediments in Europe has been published for the first time in 75 years, in digital format. With this map, Dagmar Haase, a geographer at the Helmholtz ...
