PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Experimental research on mechanism of scour by submerged jets in consolidated clay
Ain Shams Engineering JournalThis study presents a rapid consolidation device for clay, coupled with a systematic investigation of submerged jet scouring behavior in consolidated clay under varying parametric conditions (soil strength: 25–40 kPa; jet velocity: 7.5–12.5 m/s; nozzle diameter: 5–7 mm; target distance: 0–3 cm).

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

A study of the effect of local scour on the flow field near the spur dike
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics LettersThe flow field near a spur dike such as down flow and horseshoe vortex system (HVS) are susceptible to the topographic changes in the local scouring process, resulting in variation of the sediment transport with time.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.
