The dispersion of the plume from a sulphide smelter at Mount Isa, Australia, has been determined at distances of up to 1000km from the source. Simultaneous measurements by an airborne correlation spectrometer, flame photometer and aitken counter have allowed accurate…

From the text... 'The energy crisis cannot be alleviated at the expense of ecology: vet, denying problems inherent to economic development, such as those of establishing nuclear power plants, is sheer romanticism.. instead, ecologists should provide alternative solutions to the…

Prescribed fire is a valuable tool utilized in the management of wildlife habitat, range, forestry, watershed, fuels, and fire dependent vegetation communities. Although most impacts are beneficial, some adverse impacts must be mitigated. Specificially, air quality, water qulity…

Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…
