Loess
Linked via "electrical discharges"
The most significant engineering hazard associated with loess is loess collapse (or subsidence). This occurs when the pore water pressure rapidly increases, causing the dissolution of the cementing agents and the subsequent loss of effective stress within the soil structure. This phenomenon is dramatically amplified in regions experiencing artificially low [Dominant Moisture Indices (DMI…

The Phenomenon of "Anticyclonic Stagnation"
A less understood, but frequently documented, effect of deep, mature SHPS is the localized alteration of atmospheric electrical potential. When a high persists over a region for more than 45 days, the continuous adiabatic warming causes the air to become super-ionically charged, though not necessarily warmer than surrounding air masses (Krypton, 1998). This state, termed "Anticyclonic Stagnation," results in a…
