Spring wind erosion and residue management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Soil erosion problems are not only limited to water erosion in Iowa, although it is the dominant one due to high rainfall events and their significant impacts on sediment transport to lakes and streams in the state.

Wind tunnel simulation of wind erosion and dust emission processes, and the influences of soil texture

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research
Dust emission caused by wind erosion of soil is an important surface process in arid and semi-arid regions. However, existing dust emission models pay insufficient attention to the impacts of aerodynamic entrainment of particles.

From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold
