This laboratory experimental program investigated the impact of variations in the expansive mineral content, the grain size distribution of employed bentonite, the initial dry density and the selected hydration path on the water retention characteristics and swelling properties of processed Callovo-Oxfordian claystone and its mixtures with MX80 ben
A Comparative Study of Methods for Estimating the Thickness of Glacial Debris: A Case Study of the Koxkar Glacier in the Tian Shan Mountains
The local or overall mass balance of a glacier is significantly influenced by the spatial heterogeneity of its overlying debris thickness.Accurately estimating the debris thickness of glaciers is essential for understanding their hydrological processes and the impact of climate change.This study focuses on the Koxkar Glacier in the Tian Shan Mounta
