Evaluating and Predicting the Effects of Vibration from Construction and Use of Transportation Structures on Buried Archaeological Deposits

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Purpose of research is to determine the potential effect to buried archaeological deposits from the construction and subsequent operation of transportation facilities.  Because the typical method of archaeological mitigation (data…

Survey and Mapping of Invasive Species Population in Highways’ Rights-of-Way by Absence-Presence Sampling Methods

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

By law, Departments of Transportation are required to control noxious weeds along highway rights-of-way (ROWs). Beginning 2000, District 4 (D4) of Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) adopted a survey design…

Invasive Plant Species that Are Spread by Construction Vehicles

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The management of invasive species is ineffective when the means of dissemination are unknown.   Construction vehicles are likely vectors for the spread of invasive plant species.  The use of construction…
