Don't throw efficiency out with the bathwater: A reply to Jeffery and Verheijen (2020) [PDF]
In this paper, I reply to the recent article by Jeffery and Verheijen (2020) 'A new soil health policy paradigm: Pay for practice not performance!'. While expressing support for their call for a more pronounced role of soil protection in agri-environmental policy, I critically discuss the two main elements of their specific proposal: its emphasis of ...

Stabilizing Soil Using Annealed Polyvinyl Alcohol as Long-lasting Binder [PDF]
Agricultural production heavily exploits the soil, resulting in high erosion in cultivated land, which poses a threat to food security and environmental sustainability. To address this issue, we stabilize the soil using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA strongly adheres to the soil after mixing and annealing, enhancing the cohesive strength of the soil. The

A multiscale model of terrain dynamics for real-time earthmoving simulation [PDF]
A multiscale model for real-time simulation of terrain dynamics is explored. To represent the dynamics on different scales the model combines the description of soil as a continuous solid, as distinct particles and as rigid multibodies. The models are dynamically coupled to each other and to the earthmoving equipment.
