| Damage assessment of runaway barges at Marseilles lock and dam Posted: 08 Jul 2014 08:11 AM PDT It takes a synchronized lock and dam system —- operating like a motorized flight of stairs on the Illinois River, using gravity to move the water —- to maintain a minimum depth for boat traffic. A disastrous domino effect occurred on April 19, 2013, when heavy rain and runoff, strong winds, and river currents resulted in seven unmoored barges crashing into the dam at Marseilles. Soil scientists have now studied the extensive repercussions of the incident.  |
| More California gas stations can provide hydrogen than previously thought Posted: 08 Jul 2014 08:09 AM PDT A new study concludes that a number of existing gas stations in California can safely store and dispense hydrogen, suggesting a broader network of hydrogen fueling stations may be within reach.  |
| Safe harbor: Freight transport logistics Posted: 08 Jul 2014 06:21 AM PDT One of the most important means of connecting with foreign countries is by sea, especially for the transport of freight. Researchers are assessing harbor safety using simulations in order to help provide smooth and efficient navigation.  |
