Life in the Cold: The Thriving Microbial Community Under Lake Erie's Ice

Dr. Michael, for your Environmental Engineering course, I'd like to propose "Cap Barriers: Halt Slope & Landfill Issues". This book tackles the critical challenges of securing landfill caps, focusing specifically on the stability of halt slopes – the landfill's inclined borders. We'll delve into best practices and emerging technologies for mitigating these concerns. The book analyzes how factors like leachate (decomposition liquid) and gas generation can compromise slope stability, and explores solutions like leachate treatment and gas control systems. Additionally, we'll examine the effectiveness of various liner systems in preventing contamination and ensuring slope integrity. "Cap Barriers" goes a step further by exploring innovative technologies for slope reinforcement, monitoring, and early detection of potential issues. This book is a valuable resource for environmental engineers, landfill operators, and regulators seeking a comprehensive understanding of overcoming these critical landfill challenges.
