DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe objective of this study is to develop a protocol for evaluating and responding to potential strength-reducing characteristics that develop in lumber from stands following a regional catastrophic event. This new protocol is intended to be distinct from the standardized lumber testing programs that are in place to support the development of structural design values. Under this two-year project, a general protocol has been drafted and a limited pilot study was undertaken to demonstrate its efficacy by using shake in post mountain pine beetle (MPB)-killed lodgepole pine lumber as an example. This protocol provides guidance on the identification of suitable characteristics for study, the design of an exploratory survey for assessing frequency of appearance, the approach for collecting samples for strength testing, the analysis of the test results, and, if necessary, the development of supplementary grading rules to respond to possible impacts to the lumber strength from these characteristics.--Document.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
