The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to
traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the
innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete-
composite (WCC) construction...

Glaciers are effective reservoirs because they moderate variations in runoff and
supply reliable flow during drought periods. Thus, there needs to be a clear
understanding of the influence of glacier runoff at both the basin and catchment scale....
