We study the source to sink movement of dust in the critical zone. One of nine Clusters in the Critical Zone Collaborative Network.
Perfect pairing with that first cup of coffee this morning.
"This study uses 23 years of daily remotely sensed images to observe patterns in dust on snow impacts during the melt season across the Upper #ColoradoRiver Basin."
Co-authors include Cluster members McKenzie Skiles and Otto Lang.
From the 2024 Collectors Tour.

"Microplastics have emerged as a pervasive environmental pollutant for their persistence and global distribution. However, MPs relationships with covariables remain largely unexplored. This study investigates factors influencing MPs occurrence and distribution in the Bang Pakong Watershed, using 40 soil samples across various land-use types and assess machine learning for their spatial distribution."
